Theater information and tickets can be found at https://www.mclarenfilmusa.com with additional locations added daily.

The name McLaren is synonymous with motor racing excellence, and stands today as a symbol for automotive superiority. Yet what is less known is the brand's origins.

Featuring interviews from his closest friends and family members, the documentary is an unprecedented window into the life of a true genius.
