The Right Stuff

Synopsis:

Tom Wolfe's nonfictional account of the history of the U.S. Space program reads like a novel, and the film has that same fictional quality. It covers the breaking of the sound barrier by Chuck Yeager (Shepard, Bandidas, Walker Payne) to the Mercury 7 astronauts, showing that no one had a clue how to run a space program or select people to be in it. Thrilling, funny, charming and electrifying all at once, it's a rousing tribute to the heroism of America's first astronauts!
