L'Étoffe des héros (1983)
Dans la lourde atmosphère de la Guerre Froide, un coup de tonnerre éclate en 57 : les russes ont lancé leur premier Spoutnik ! Eisenhower décide alors d'envoyer un homme dans l'espace. Yeager, approché par deux recruteurs, réserve sa décision, mais les volontaires ne manquent pas : le programme Mercury est en route. Après une série de tests durs, humiliants, épuisants, les candidats craquent les uns après les autres. On en retient sept, l'entraînement commence alors…
