  • "An epic film about the men who initially explored the final frontier. Tells the story of the American heroes who faced the dangers of space from pilot Chuck Yeager, the first man to break the sound barrier, to astronaut Gordon Cooper, the last man to orbit the earth alone. (Circulates)."
  • "The early years of the space race, 1947-1963 and especially 1957-1963, is the focus of an audacious mix of melodrama, adventure-romance, satire and elegy. It is also at core a western which draws on the genre's mythos in portraying the Mercury astronauts, the first Americans in space and the unsung test pilots who preceded them. Kaufman is concerned with demythologising the space race. Although not matching the iconoclasm of his western The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid, Kaufman does not shrink from satirising eccentricity and phoniness. The last frontier stretches skywards and beyond. The astronauts, the magnificent seven, are publicity seeking phonies and psuedo-heroes. The test pilot Chuck Yaeger is the lone westerner. The Right Stuff is mysteriously elusive but is ultimately the stuff of heroes: courage and style."@en

  • ""The Right Stuff is a 1983 American film adaptation of Tom Wolfe's 1979 book The Right Stuff about the test pilots who were involved in high-speed aeronautical research at Edwards Air Force Base as well as those selected to be astronauts for Project Mercury, the United States' first attempt at manned spaceflight. The story contrasts the "Mercury Seven" and their families with pilots like Chuck Yeager, who was considered by many test pilots to be the best of them all, but was never selected as an astronaut. The Mercury Seven were Scott Carpenter, Gordon Cooper, John Glenn, Gus Grissom, Wally Schirra, Alan Shepard, and Deke Slayton." -- website."

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."
