Niki Lauda, born in 1949 in Vienna, Austria, is best known as a three-time Formula One World Champion. His remarkable story of survival after a near-fatal crash in 1976 is captured in the cult film One By One (1975), where he takes on the role of an actor, showcasing a different facet of his life. Lauda's transition from the racetrack to the screen adds a compelling layer to his legacy, making his appearance in this film a notable entry in the realm of cult cinema.
One By One
Directed by Claude Du Boc and narrated by Stacey Keach the film centers on the fragility of life and the possibility of death for Formula One drivers of the 70's. This film includes access to the top F1 drivers like Jackie Stewart, Francois Cevert, Mike Hailwood and Peter Revson which would seem all but impossible in today's F1 world.
