Customer Ratings & Reviews

Gives an interesting perspective on an interesting point in our history. Movie demonstrates how far we have come and how we still have work to do for equality.

This story is long overdue and gives the attention and respect due tot these special women and their outstanding contributions to the US space program.

We still purchase DVD's for our enjoyment. This is one of our favorite movies and this way the movie is available for anyone to view on any TV in the house.

This is a piece of American history that none of us in my family had a clue about! Kudos to Hollywood for bringing the critical work of these women to light!!

This is definitely one of the most important additions to my DVD collections! Historical DVDs, like "HIDDEN FIGURES" are at the top of my must-have movies!

This movie is based on a true story and although it's an old movie, it is very good and I recommend it highly! we have watched it 2 to 3 times already!

A fascinating account of a piece of history few Americans have heard of. This is a great story that's well acted and directed that everyone should watch!

An interesting take on the educated women of NASA during its early years on the trip to the moon and yes, mankind did go to the moon. For real for real.

I love this movie. It’s a great depiction of the space race era and how we worked to overcome those problems as well as racial inequalities.

Bought this movie during Best Buy’s deal of the day, and I’m definitely pleased. Was very inexpensive and arrived as advertised. No. complaints

Great show about accepted discrimination at the time and how they chipped away at the prevailing practice during early years of NASA Space Program.

Wife loved this movie. This movie shows some of our country’s history and how some things used to be. Good writing, fun performances, and a good story.

I love this movie! We need more movies that show strength and character of wonen and minorities, especially in the face of an oppressive culture.

Great movie for all to see about racial relations and their tensions in 60s and women’s inequalities back in the day as well. Add NASA...Amazing!

This is a great value for the movie and extras included. The movie itself is excellent, the extras a nice inclusion, and the set a total bonus.

We need more movies like this. This is a story about the unsung heroines who helped calculate the orbits for the space program. We always see the astronauts and mission control, so it was refreshing to see a story behind the trenches. Not only that, but these women were brilliant at a time when women and especially black women didn't do math or science (or full time jobs!). I had no clue these women even existed and am rather ticked that they are only now getting widespread recognition. This is such an inspiring story for any young women looking to break into science, math, computer or engineering fields. The acting was excellent and there was plenty of humor sprinkled around. There was a mix of old footage to supplement the new to give a well rounded look at what went on during the time of the launches. Anyone else bite their nails even though we know John Glenn made it ok? lol! Although there was some uncomfortable racist/sexist stuff these women had to slog through, it was more of the subtle type which can be harder to deal with than in your face stuff. I liked how the people changed when confronted directly. I especially loved the 'this is the way it is' entrenched mentality that both whites and blacks had to overcome. It gave a mild yet realistic portrayal of the obstacles these ladies had to deal with in addition to their work and made me respect them even more. I totally recommend this for anyone interested in the space program and science stuff.

This was worth watching. This is the kind of movie that gives us an insight into the past and women who really made history without the glory ! !

It was very informative and entertaining! Casting was very well done! But it could have you used some more music pertaining to the era

I never knew African American women were involved in NASA at that time. Very brilliant, strong, educated and articulated. Great cast.

This movie is a must see. These ladies are incredible in their skill set. And what they had to go through to be created equal in the 1960's.
