The TVI Take
1983 Best Picture nominee. The story of the test pilots who became America's first astronauts.
High cognitive demands from the ensemble narrative spanning a decade. Exceptional educational value from the detailed aerospace history and the culture of the early space program. Philip Kaufman captures both the heroism and the absurdity.
