Winner of four Academy Awards for its technical achievements, and nominated for Best Picture, this adaptation of Tom Wolfe's bestseller appeared on almost every "Top Ten" Best Picture list for 1983. Featuring an all-star cast including Golden Globe-nominee Dennis Quaid ("Yours, Mine and Hours," "In Good Company"), Academy Award and Emmy- nominee and Golden Globe-winner Ed Harris ("A History of Violence," "A Beautiful Mind"), Scott Glenn ("Training Day," "Vertical Limit"), Academy Award-nominee and Emmy and Golden Globe-winner Barbara Hershey ("Falling Down," "Hoosiers") and acclaimed playwright-actor and Academy Award, Emmy and Golden Globe-nominee Sam Shepard ("Stealth," "The Notebook"), whose enigmatic portrayal of Chuck Yaeger garnered him an Academy Award-nomination. From Yaeger -- the first man to break the sound barrier -- to the seven Mercury astronauts, it's the story of the birth of the U.S. Space Program.

The plot is confusing, and the story line is everywhere. I actually don't understand how people find this enjoyable... Lucky I didn't give it a 1-star review.

Absolutely enthralling! This movie provides history and personality to something that could otherwise be very sterile and documentarian. I love the perspectives of the wives on the trials and challenges of the early astronauts.

My favourite historical movie. I can never get tired of watching it. It is definitely worth over 3 hours of your time. Like the characters, this movie truly has The Right Stuff.
