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.

Loved it so much, bought the dvd so I could see it over and over. Terrific acting. Great story I didn't even know. Everybody should see it!

This was an excellent movie. This is the story they should have taught when I was in school. Very interesting piece if history.

I saw this in the theatre and was impressed with the message that I knew I would purchase it when it went on sale. It is a must see movie.

This is an excellent movie. It is well written and has very good acting and the historical subject matter is very interesting.

It is awesome to get great stories like Hidden Figures. Strong women who had such an impactful presence in our journey to the moon.

Hidden Figures is a fabulous movie. It brings to the forefront the employees that were behind the scenes making space travel a reality.

THIS MOVIE REALLY ILLUSTRATES LIFE AS WE KNEW IN FOR THAT TIME FRAME. SHOWING WHAT THESE WOMEN HAD TO ENDURE FOR WHAT THEY WANTED.

I highly recommend this dvd. It really shows what happened in the early days for minority’s working at NASA during the space race.

This is a must see movie to understand the beginnings of NASA and the important part these ladies played in the ultimate success!
