Review of The Right Stuff (1983) by Essi S — 22 Jul 2009
My absolute favorite movie about the space program. This film is great because it starts before there were any astronauts with the quest to reach the speed of sound and the man, Chuck Yeager, who faced death in his pursuit not only to be the fastest pilot, but to reach the highest altitudes as well.
As for the portrayel of the astronauts, the cast does a great job of giving depth to each character. It's not just a movie about our race against the Russians to be first in space, but a movie about a darring group of men fulfilling their dreams and coming to grips with their roles as american heros.
