It surprised almost everybody by not becoming a smash hit. By all rights, the film should have been every bit the success that \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eApollo 13\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e would later become; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Right Stuff\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e is not only just as thrilling, but it is also a bigger and better movie. Combining history (both established and revisionist), grand mythmaking (and myth puncturing), adventure, melodrama, behind-the-scenes dish, spectacular visuals, and a down-to-earth sense of humor, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Right Stuff\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e chronicles NASA's efforts to put a man in orbit. Such an achievement would be the first step toward President Kennedy's goal of reaching the moon, and, perhaps most important of all, would win a crucial public relations\/morale victory over the Soviets, who had delivered a stunning blow to American pride by launching \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSputnik\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e, the first satellite. The movie contrasts the daring feats of the unsung test pilots--one of whom, Chuck Yeager, embodied more than anyone else the skill and spirit of Wolfe's title--against the heavily publicized (and sanitized) accomplishments of the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMercury\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e astronauts. Through no fault of their own, the spacemen became prisoners of the heroic images the government created for them in order to capture the public's imagination. The casting is inspired; the film features Sam Shepard as the legendary Yeager, Ed Harris as John Glenn, Dennis Quaid as \"Gordo\" Cooper, Scott Glenn as Alan Shepard, Fred Ward as Gus Grissom, Scott Wilson as Scott Crossfield, and Pamela Reed and Veronica Cartwright are superb in their thankless roles as astronauts' wives.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"loris-lots.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39447098720396,"sku":"12319","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/1268\/6476\/products\/0085392002726_8626b3a3-94bb-431c-9267-ccf3f36b049f.jpg?v=1624928408","url":"https:\/\/loris-lots.com\/products\/right-stuff-old-version-1997-release","provider":"loris-lots.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
