Rated: R Runtime: 193 min Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

DVD Quick Take

You’ll be glad you have a pause button when watching this movie. Don’t get me wrong, its a very interesting film, but with a running time of over 3 hours you’re gonna need to take a break or two.

The Right Stuff tells the story of America’s race to put a man in orbit and also takes a look at what type of man it takes to be a test pilot. This isn’t lightweight viewing by any means, but it’s well worth the time it takes to watch it. It also makes a good movie to play for relatives when you want them out of your hair for 3 hours.

It’s also a great movie to have on hand when you want to watch some rockets explode!
