Right, a lot of problems here. The blank lines between trope entries are not standard practice and just waste space. Every entry needs to begin with a capital letter. Don\'t use the entire URL when linking within the wiki, just the namespace and the article title. (This is especially true if the entire URL includes a redirect.) Understatement is for in-universe examples only. The film title goes in italics. Ron Howard and Hans Zimmer are in the Creator/ namespace. There are also a number of punctuation and grammar mistakes. I strongly urge you to read the various articles on TV Tropes style guidelines, such as How To Write An Example, Text Formatting Rules, and Tips For Editing, before editing this article again.

->''"Asshole."''
-->-- '''James Hunt and Niki Lauda, about each other.'''
Rush (2013) is a movie which premiered in the UK on September 2nd and opened in the US on September 27th, directed by RonHoward with [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Film/Thor Chris Hemsworth]] playing British Playboy James Hunt and [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Film/InglouriousBasterds?from=Main.InglouriousBasterds Daniel Brühl]] as Austrian Precision Driver Niki Lauda. The story narrates their rivalry in the 1976 Formula One Championship, one of the most dramatic seasons the sport has ever known, back when "sex was safe and driving was dangerous".
The rest is history, one which you will NOT regret watching.
The score was composed by HansZimmer and the script was penned by [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Film/FrostNixon?from=Main.FrostNixon Peter Morgan]]. The movie was blessed by the real [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WordOfGod Niki Lauda]] who acted as a consultant for both Peter Morgan and Daniel Brühl.
