Parfois, un seul rêve suffit à illuminer tout le ciel.
A Coalwood, on est 'gueule noire' de père en fils car le charbon est l'unique ressource de cette petite bourgade de Virginie et la mine, sa seule raison d'être, sa fierté et, parfois, son enfer. En 1957, Homer Hickam, fils cadet du directeur de l'Olga Coal Company, a quelques raisons de s'inquiéter. Peu doué pour les maths et trop malingre pour prétendre à une bourse d'athlète, son avenir paraît tout tracé. Mais lorsque la Russie, battant de vitesse l'Amérique, met sur orbite son légendaire Spoutnik, Homer sent naître en lui une impérieuse vocation : participer à la conquête de l'espace, vivre pleinement LA grande aventure des temps modernes... Partant de zéro, l'adolescent réunit alors trois copains et s'essaie à la construction d'une première fusée... qui explose pitoyablement au sol. Bravant l'opposition paternelle, il n'en poursuit pas moins ses recherches, dévorant livre sur livre.

This movie deserves higher rating.
This movie started off with a boy with a dream to build a rocket, and finished off in fireworks. It was wonderful, heartwarming, and even brought a tear to my eyes. It's worth your time, and it's a blast.
Very warm, somewhat nostalgic, and very motivating movie. It’s 10/10 for me.
Based on a true story about four boys hoping to escape a life working the mines by winning a science fair and thus a scholarship. The relationship between father and son is ppwerful. The film has some slow and some predictable bits but it tugged at the heartstrings enough that I might rewatch it one day.
October sky is a heart warming blast of a movie. This movie will always be personal to me. After watching Hidden Figures with my grandma she wanted me to watch October Sky and The Right Stuff so I will. I was delightfully surprised at how great it was. The plot is great it consistently is entertaining and well paced. This is one of the better bio pics I’ve seen the drama is great and the rocket testings are fun to watch. The acting is very good it’s weird to see Jake Gyllenhaal so young. It’s directed very well by Joe Johnson. The cinematography is good as well as the soundtrack. It’s a very inspiring and uplifting movie. The ending is really beautiful. Overall it’s a beautiful and fun bio pic that I’ll never forget, I highly recommend to watch this. ( 8 out of 10)
