October Sky (1999)
Coalwood, West Virginia, 1957: Das örtliche Kohlebergwerk ist der größte Arbeitsgeber, und fast jeder männliche Bewohner arbeitet dort, oder wird es einmal tun. John Hickam ist der Leiter der Grube, und er hofft, daß seine beiden Söhne Jim und Homer eines Tages in seine Fußstapfen treten. Als Jim ein Stipendium für’s College bekommt, liegt es an Homer, den Traum ihres Vaters zu verwirklichen. Doch Homer hat ganz andere Ambitionen: Sein Wunsch ist es, eine Rakete zu bauen, die genau wie die sowjetische Sputnik bis ins Weltall fliegen kann…
