Additional InformationThis epic chronicle of the seven pilots chosen to become astronauts for Project Mercury is based on the novel by Tom Wolfe (THE BONFIRE OF THE VANITIES) and directed by visionary filmmaker Philip Kaufman (QUILLS, THE UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING).<BR>Deep in the desert during the 1950s, army test pilots courageously fought to break the sound barrier. These maverick men would stop at nothing to achieve winning speed. Led by their champion, Chuck Yeager (Sam Shepard), they caroused at the local watering hole while sharing tales of extreme sport and bravery--until the Russians successfully sent their Sputnik satellite into the skies, and the United States government panicked, quickly launching a space program of its own. In an effort to find the right men for the job, the government searched the desert and the seas, compiling a crew of daredevil space cowboys willing to do anything for the chance to represent America in the space race. After gruelling medical, physical, and psychological tests, seven men were left standing, led by American hero John Glenn (Ed Harris), test pilots Gordon Cooper (Dennis Quaid), Gus Grissom (Fred Ward), and Scott Carpenter (Charles Frank), and Navy man Alan Shepard (Scott Glenn). With the help of the media and the government, these men became overnight heroes, sacrificing their freedom and their families for the dream of space travel.<BR>This piercing exploration of the men and wives behind the mission serves as a testament to the determination of America to dominate the field of space exploration, while offering an intriguing portrait of a period in which America wanted to believe in perfect men and their perfect wives, even if the reality was vastly more complex. This gripping film also features fabulous special effects and stunning aerial cinematography.

The Right Stuff Is The Best Stuff!
The Right Stuff is my favourite film, and has been since I first saw it in January 1986! This recent purchase is a present for a friend, to spread the good word. I first saw The Right Stuff on video, but I've since seen it five times on the big screen, which is by far the best way to see it. Every time I see it on the big screen, I just fall in love with it all over again. It's a true epic of heroism, endeavour, and the finest of the American spirit. It's often described as "exhilarating" and I think that describes it perfectly. Bill Conti's five-and-a-half minute theme at the end is my all-time favourite piece of music, and never fails to lift my spirits! Truly scandalous that this magnificent, monumental movie was passed over for Best Picture Oscar in favour of Terms of Endearment.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Highly recommended viewing
Ok, I’m a lady of an age when I saw this film the first time round serialised on TV and I’ve never forgotten it. It’s been wonderful to revisit the era. If you like Apollo 13, I’m sure you’ll enjoy this film and the extraordinary people who made early space flight possible.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
