ActionAdventureDocumentaryDramaSci-Fi193 min
At the dawn of the Space Race, America’s top test pilots are pulled from the desert runways of Edwards Air Force Base into Project Mercury, where military flyers become national symbols overnight. Sam Shepard is Chuck Yeager, the pilot still pushing the limits of speed and altitude as the first seven astronauts face punishing training, public scrutiny, and Cold War pressure. Ed Harris and Dennis Quaid are among the men suddenly asked to trade cockpit anonymity for cameras, headlines, and the chance to be first in space.
