How Ken Miles Really Died (& Why Ford v Ferrari Changes It)
Ken Miles' death in Ford v Ferrari isn't too far off from what really happened - though the movie changes some details for storytelling purposes.
The Ken Miles death scene in Ford v Ferrari is a heartbreaking moment, but also changes several details of the true story. Directed by James Mangold, Ford v Ferrari shows Ford's triumph over the Ferrari at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans race. It's a tale of clashing egos and talented artists struggling to balance creative integrity with commercial viability, culminating in a race where one false step could mean a horrific — and fatal — crash. Christian Bale costars as Ken Miles, the highly talented but hot-tempered World War II vet-turned-professional driver whom Carroll Shelby (Matt Damon) enlists to help him.
