    ABOUT F1® THE MOVIE:

    From Apple Studios and the filmmakers of Top Gun: Maverick comes the high-octane, action-packed feature film F1® THE MOVIE, starring Brad Pitt and directed by Joseph Kosinski. The film is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, Kosinski, seven-time FORMULA 1® world champion Lewis Hamilton, Pitt, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, and Chad Oman.

    Dubbed “the greatest that never was,” Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) was FORMULA 1’s most promising phenom of the 1990s until an accident on the track nearly ended his career. Thirty years later, he’s a nomadic racer-for-hire when he’s approached by his former teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), owner of a struggling FORMULA 1 team that is on the verge of collapse. Ruben convinces Sonny to come back to FORMULA 1 for one last shot at saving the team and being the best in the world. He’ll drive alongside Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), the team's hotshot rookie, intent on setting his own pace. But as the engines roar, Sonny’s past catches up with him and he finds that in FORMULA 1, your teammate is your fiercest competition—and the road to redemption is not something you can travel alone.

    F1® THE MOVIE also stars Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, Kim Bodnia, and Javier Bardem, and was shot during actual Grand Prix weekends as the team competes against the titans of the sport. Kosinski directs from a screenplay by Ehren Kruger, story by Kosinski & Kruger. The film is executive produced by Daniel Lupi. Collaborating with Kosinski behind the scenes are his creative team, including director of photography Claudio Miranda, production designers Mark Tildesley and Ben Munro, editor Stephen Mirrione, costume designer Julian Day, casting director Lucy Bevan, and composer Hans Zimmer.

    PLDT Enterprise Boosts Transport & Logistics with Smarter, Stronger Connectivity Solutions

     PLDT Enterprise is accelerating digital progress in the country’s transport and logistics sectors by delivering stronger, smarter wireless connectivity through Wireless Indoor Coverage.


    Given the Philippines’ archipelagic geography and rugged terrain, many areas stand to benefit more from wireless connectivity solutions than from traditional wired infrastructure, making solutions like Wireless Indoor Coverage especially relevant in supporting the evolving needs of these industries.

    “Reliable wireless coverage plays a critical role in enhancing communication across transport and logistics operations, from real-time SMS updates to clear voice calls and seamless data access. Whether inside warehouses, distribution hubs, or transit terminals, strong connectivity ensures accurate coordination, minimizes failed deliveries, and keeps customers informed every step of the way. This ultimately drives greater operational efficiency and boosts consumer satisfaction,” said John Gonzales, First Vice President and Head of Enterprise Consulting Services and Technology Management at PLDT Enterprise.

    A Commitment to Transport and Logistics Innovation

    PLDT Enterprise’s Wireless Indoor Coverage is about enabling transformation. By integrating wireless connectivity within vehicles and transit hubs, the solution supports the industry through:

    • Reliable connectivity on the move, enabling uninterrupted access to safety systems and communications as vehicles travel through different environments
    • Consistent, mobile-ready coverage that supports real-time safety features and critical system updates wherever the journey leads
    • Remote network management for vehicle fleets, ensuring timely security and configuration updates
    • Extended coverage into previously underserved zones, enabling consistent wireless connectivity in enclosed spaces such as bus depots, terminals, and vehicles where signal traditionally weakens

    With wired internet still a challenge in some areas of the country, wireless broadband, particularly 5G, emerges as a powerful alternative in the meantime, offering faster speeds, lower latency, and wider reach to connect underserved areas and enable next-generation technologies. 

    Given this, Wireless Indoor Coverage helps solve long-standing industry challenges in transport operations—such as ensuring timely SMS alerts (including OTPs), enabling reliable voice calls during emergencies, and maintaining strong mobile data signals for seamless access to navigation apps, dispatch systems, and cloud-based tools.

    All these innovations and their respective benefits align with the broader nationwide effort to overcome digital barriers in infrastructure, as highlighted in recent reports on wireless broadband advancements in the Philippines.

    Enabling Safety, Efficiency, and Growth for Long Routes and Regional Mobility

    PLDT Enterprise’s wireless solutions are designed to keep fleets connected even as they traverse remote areas and regional boundaries. Whether managing cargo transfers between provinces or maintaining communication on extended delivery routes, the solution supports stable, secure wireless access that scales with the mobility needs of the country.

    This expanded reach reinforces PLDT Enterprise’s commitment to being the trusted network partner for nationwide transport transformation.

    Moreover, by offering transport operators the ability to manage their wireless networks remotely via cloud platforms, the solution not only enhances operational continuity but also boosts cybersecurity and resiliency—key pillars in today’s security-sensitive landscape.

    Driving Collaboration for Future Innovations

    PLDT Enterprise envisions this initiative as a call to action for transportation companies, logistics operators, and public sector stakeholders to come together and reimagine how businesses move.

    “We invite industry players to collaborate with us in crafting wireless solutions that are tailor-fit for their specific environments and use cases. Connectivity should move with you—and with PLDT Enterprise,” Gonzales added.
