| Description
Epic and glorious were America's dreams to master
the sky and journey into space. Also epic and
glorious is this landmark movie about one
adventurous test pilot, seven brave astronauts and
the colourful era that forged their heroism: Philip
Kaufman's spectacular film of Tom Wolfe's The
Right Stuff.
Winner of four Academy Awards, The Right Stuff
chronicles the story of pioneering Mercury
astronauts: Men named Shepard, Grissom, Glenn,
Carpenter, Schirra, Cooper and Slayton, the first
Americans to ride a primitive spacecraft solo into a
new frontier. Preceding them in the history books
was the legendary Chuck Yeager who, far removed
from the awesome media spotlight that would focus
on the spacemen a decade later became the first
man to break the sound barrier piloting the fabled
X-1. Sam Shepard, Ed Harris, Dennis Quaid,
Barbara Hershey, Fred Ward and others in a
marvelous ensemble cast make this sweeping saga
funny, touching and bracingly human, like the movie
that contains them, they embody The Right Stuff of
exciting entertainment.
