Eric Bana has cast himself in his ultimate role in LOVE THE BEAST. Bana's directorial debut explores the importance of his 25-year-long love affair with his first car - a Ford XB Falcon Coupe "THE BEAST". Obsessed with cars and racing since he was a child, Eric takes us on a journey that spans a lifetime and culminates in the beast's untimely death in one of the world's most dangerous races, the Targa Tasmania. With guidance from three life-long friends as well as other self-confessed petrol heads Jay Leno, Jeremy Clarkson and Dr Phil, Eric examines the significance of the bond that is formed around a common passion.
