The Right Stuff

The U.S and the Soviet Union were in a space race. The movie showed Russia launch the first satellite sputnik it also showed battles between the U.s and Russia. When they launched their satellite the U.s were scared so they decided to put man into space. The part that will stick in my head the most was in the beginning when they try to break the sound barrier and the guys plane blows up and the other scene is when they actually do break the sound barrier.
