In 1947, when the future began somewhere in the middle of the California desert, a pilot flies faster than the speed of sound... Flying higher, faster and harder than anyone before ... always pushing the boundaries, always living on the edge ... the American Air Force test pilots are the bravest, the best, and the most daring--the men with The Right Stuff. Suddenly, these men become the first to ride a rocket as the United States races to put the first man on the moon in this true story of the Mercury astronauts.

Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times

Richard Roeper

It still thrills with its expert casting and dazzling visuals.

The Right Stuff gives off a pleasurable hum: it’s the writer-director Philip Kaufman’s enjoyment of the subject, the actors, and moviemaking itself.

This timely delve into the past - warts and all - to uncover the roots of a future we are now participating in has a basic ingredient that so many films lately have lacked. And that is integrity

Episode 12: Away We Go

Where 2001: A Space Odyssey depicted astronauts (and mankind) as being at the mercy of some higher, alien intelligence, The Right Stuff finds its characters imposing their will on the unknown.
