America's dreams of sky domination and space travel were epic and grandiose. So is this movie, based on Philip Kaufman's novel by Tom Wolfe, The Right Stuff, which chronicles the lives and colorful times of seven brave astronauts and an adventurous test pilot. Winner of four Oscars, The Right Stuff tells the story of the first Mercury astronauts. These men, Shepard, Grissom, Glenn, Carpenter, Schirra, Cooper, and Slayton, were the first Americans to travel to new horizons in a primitive spacecraft.
