The Right Stuff (1983)

PG (US) | USA | English, Russian, Spanish | 193 min
Directed by: Philip Kaufman
7.8

Tom Wolfe's book on 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 to the Mercury 7 astronauts, showing that no one had a clue how to run a space program or how to select people to be in it. Thrilling, funny, charming and electrifying all at once.
