WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
Winner of four Academy Awards®, this film is the critically acclaimed and off-beat look at America’s dreams to build a space program and master the sky. Adapted from Tom Wolfe’s novel, the epic film chronicles the legendary Chuck Yeager (Shepard)—the first man to break the sound barrier piloting the fabled X-1—and seven brave astronauts who later pioneered the first Mercury capsules into space piloting primitive spacecraft.
