Tom Wolfe's book on the history of the U.S. Space program reads like a novel, and the film has that same fictional quality. It covers the breaking of the sound barrier by Chuck Yeager to the Mercury 7 astronauts, showing that no one had a clue how to run a space program or how to select people to be in it. Thrilling, funny, charming and electrifying all at once.... (Full plot summary below)

Movie Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertKaufman's love for the Yeager character pays off in the magical closing sequence of the film, when the "best pilot in the world" eyeballs anew Air Force jet and says, "I have a feeling this little old plane right here might be able to beat that Russian record."
Video-Reviewmaster.com - 10/10 by Steve CrumHistorical drama as well as vastly entertaining adventure.
The Hollywood Reporter - 10/10 by Arthur KnightRarely has a film made a historic accomplishment seem so vivid and personal.
Washington Post - 10/10 by Gary ArnoldA GREAT American movie in a new epic form, The Right Stuff fuses the comic and the heroic to emerge as a knockabout social comedy that also packs a thriller inspirational and -- why deny it?-- patriotic wallop.
The New Yorker - 10/10 by Pauline KaelIn a brash, beautiful, deeply American film, Kaufman has combined the resources and ingenuity of movie making with the freewheeling, damn-the-conventions style of of the New Journalism and come up with a generous, high-spirited look at the bravery and lunacy that was that era.
Boulder Weekly - 10/10 by Thomas DelapaKaufman's enormously entertaining history of America's Mercury astronauts fizzled on release, maybe because it was too smart and cool for its own good.
Internet Reviews - 10/10 by Steve RhodesA true epic and earns the right to come at a little over three hours.
Sci-Fi Movie Page - 10/10 by James O'EhleyThe Right Stuff is, well, fascinating stuff.
Empire - 10/10 by Rob FraserConsistently compelling, capturing all the ambiguity and tension of the book.
Common Sense Media - 10/10 by Randy WhiteEducational, exciting action, great acting.
