Based on Tom Wolfe's best-selling book, The Right Stuff tells the heroic tale of America's early journeys into space. It begins with Chuck Yeager (Sam Shepard) - the first person to fly faster than the speed of sound - and continues with the Flying Fraternity and the Mercury Astronauts, the first Americans in space. The bravery and daring exploits of these men captured the imagination of mid-century Americans. In The Right Stuff and screenwriter Philip Kaufman brings these breathtaking events to life in emotionally riveting and suspenseful detail. (Warner Bros. AU)
