OCTOBER SKY

Coalwood, West Virginia, 1957. Working in the coal mines is an inescapable way of life in this small town. When high schooler Homer Hickam, Jr. (Jake Gyllenhaal) sees the Sputnik satellite in the night sky, he dares to break free of the mines and reach for the stars. With the support of his teacher (Laura Dern) and three friends, Homer sets out on an inspiring quest to build his own rocket. Overcoming a poor education, a tough father (Chris Cooper) and a series of misfires, Homer turns his dreams into reality in this incredible true story of hope, determination and triumph. "You'll laugh with it, cry with it, and go away absolutely loving it," says Robert Butler (Knight Ridder News Service) of the critically acclaimed October Sky.

  • "En 1957 en la pequeña ciudad minera de Coalwood, Homer Hickam sabe, como todos los chicos, que de mayores terminarán trabajando en las minas de carbón. Como no tiene el talento de su hermano para el fútbol americano, Homer intuye que no escapará de este estilo de vida. Pero el satélite soviético Sputnik atraviesa el cielo de octubre y todo cambiará. Homer decide fabricar un cohete junto con sus amigos y, a pesar de los fracasos iniciales logrará convencer a todos de que incluso en Coalwood se puede soñar con las estrellas."

  • "Das entscheidende Jugendkapitel aus der Biografie des NASA-Ingenieurs Homer Hickam, der mit 17, als die Sowjets 1957 erste Weltraumerfolge feierten, als Autodidakt der Raketentechnik eine Auszeichnung erhielt und während der Preisverleihung Wernher von Braun persönlich kennenlernte. Sein Wunsch, in der Raumfahrt Fuß zu fassen, führte zum Konflikt mit dem Vater, der, mit der Leitung eines Kohlebergwerks beschäftigt, den Jungen lieber unter Tage sehen wollte. Drama um einen beruflichen Werdegang, dessen Vater-Sohn-Konflikt interessante Milieu- und Charakterstudien ermöglicht, die es aus der Menge der üblichen Aufsteigerfilme herausheben. Eine hervorragende Bildgestaltung und die intelligente Musikuntermalung tragen das Ihre zum Gelingen des außergewöhnlichen Films bei. (www.kabel1.de, 2.2010)."
