Synopsis Winner of 4 Academy Awards In the middle of the 20th Century, America pondered its future-and looked to the skies. Based on Tom Wolfe's book, The Right Stuff is the tale of how the future began, a thrilling epic of intrepid test pilot Chuck Yeager and the seven pioneering astronauts of the Project Mercury space program. Philip Kaufman scripts and directs, pushing the envelope with a filmmaking bravado that matches this soaring story of training and heroism...and of sudden fame for which there is no training. Ed Harris, Barbara Hershey, Sam Shepard, Dennis Quaid and Fred Ward are among the perfect cast of this winner of 4 Academy Awards that in a pristine 20th-anniversary digital transfer remains the stuff of must-see entertainment.

Empire Review In the early days of the American space programs hereos where needed - 4.25 out of 5  (6/10/2003) Today, it takes a horrible tragedy for most people to even be aware of the space program. In the wake of the recent disaster involving the Columbia shuttle it is only fitting that the DVD of 'The Right Stuff' is being re-released as a special edition.
