25 years of love can't be wrong

Eric Bana casts himself in his perfect role: exploring the meaning of a 25-year-long relationship with his first car, "The Beast", and ultimately the importance of the bonds that form through a common passion. Filmed over 2 years, we follow Eric on an - unexpectedly - emotional journey from inside the race car to the surreal world of the red carpet as Eric considers the importance of family, friends and what it means to keep your dreams alive. LOVE THE BEAST is as full of heart and the defining moments in life as it is about driving fast....really fast.

What if you were a Hollywood movie star with an obsession for cars and racing? Youwould probably read every script with even the tiniest link to the subject matter, in thehope that you could tell a great car story of the likes of "Grand Prix", "Le Mans" or "MadMax". Then one day you happened to open your garage door and sitting there, right infront of you, was the film you had been searching for.

This is what happened to Eric Bana and this time around, the co-star is his very own FordGT Falcon Coupe- THE BEAST. Eric realized the story was in fact, about him, his first car,a lifetime of ownership and a lifetime of friendship. He set about documenting his own25 year long love story.

A simple tale of one man's ongoing relationship with his very first car.

After years of precious restoration, Eric and his 3 closest friends, decided to enterthe car into one of the most gruelling and dangerous motor races that exists: The TargaTasmania Rally. This would be a personal Everest for both man and machine, until...onday 4 of the race, tragedy strikes. The man who was hell bent on trying to convey howmuch he and those around him loved "THE BEAST", had just destroyed it.

Eric has now unwillingly cast himself in his own real life drama. We follow him frominside the race car to the surreal world of the red carpet. This compelling true storyfollows Eric's progression as a car lover, and as a person conflicted by what he has done.The personal and social pressures mount up in the face of rebuilding a car that means somuch to him. Along the way Eric seeks guidance and wisdom from not only the innersanctum of his 3 life long friends but also Jay Leno, Jeremy Clarkson, and Dr. Phil.
