Not a very well known piece of American history. Watch it.

Octavia Spencer Taraji P Henson Plus Janelle Monae Make This Special Because They Are Excellent Actresses And The Story Line Was True/. Getting John Glenn Into Space And Back Home Alive.They Worked Around Prejudice and Sexism to Get The Job Done Kevon Costner was marvelous as the had man who made it possible for these women to work if you have young kids ths is the movie

Like the title says, they were Hidden figures we knew nothing about. The three main characters were not only driven and smart, they played both a key and important role in NASA and world history. The film did an excellent job with some of the sensitive subjects like the civil rights movement by educating you about that time in history, instead of making a statement about it.

Seen the movie in the movie theater, then rented it at Redbox, and then brought it during black friday at Best Buy. Yes I guess you can say it a great movie. Very education movie about the beginning of the Nasa. How three women, that are black help Nasa get the Mercury Seven in space and back to earth. During the early sixties segregation of the south.

Excellent story line and awesome talented actress and actors. I purchased this movie and took it with me on a bus ride to Philadelphia. No one on the bus had seen the movie. By the time that the trip was over people wanted to know where I purchase the movie, my response Best Buy and the sale ends tomorrow. People were going to purchase there own copies.

Years back I read some information on the space projects conducted during this time frame and did not realize the individuals mentioned in the documents I read had played such an important roll in getting a man into space. After viewing this video, it answered a number of questions and gave me more incite into how distorted History can be.

One of the best movies I've seen in years. Acting, writing, story, and atmosphere out of this world! So many good scenes...some bad scenes too (racism will never look good). These ladies did the math that ran circles around those who couldn't keep them down. The orbits they created were literally over the moon. Inspiring and authentic...get it!

I bought it for my wife, with some positive expectations. Fast-paced, enthralling. Key character, Katherine Johnson, is still alive in her late 90s; interviews included. Movie took some poetic license: Most specifically, her second marriage (after being widowed) took place before the story began, not at the end. A great American story!

This is an excellent movie, reminding viewers of the manual efforts involved in the math necessary to get our early space voyages launched and landed successfully. Also a good reminder of the discrimination against African Americans at that time in our history. Those interested in space flight and early NASA will enjoy this movie.

This is an incredibly well-acted drama on factual American history, offering insight & knowledge of important events--basically deleted from most known history books! The women, who's roles were so pivotal to NASA's early days should be recommended viewing for all Americans, bar none! A solid and important imprint for all Americans to view!

This film has such an interesting story to it, I imagine the racism they actually experienced in real life was worse than what is shown in the film. I really liked that is based on a true story, that made it all the more fascinating. Mary is my favourite character, she has such aplomb! I would recommend this film to everyone!

I bought this video for my collection of movies that I would consider worthy to have to show the future generations of what it takes to make it in a whole that is full of discrimination and unconscious bias. This movie is well documented and very encouraging! Very well done. (PS I saw this movie twice on the big screen).

Taraji Henson, Octavia Spencer and Janell Monae give outstanding performances, with capable support from Kevin Costner. The obstacles faced by the protagonists are truly sobering, and their courage and perseverance in overcoming them is inspiring. A good performance by Jim Parsons in an unexpected role is a bonus.

Love the variety of formats that is included with movie. Can be played as a DVD, and you can download the digital version to your tablet, smartphone or computer. A true story that was inspiring. I was very impressed that this was a clean movie! Very minimal swearing- only Hxxx and Dxxx was said a couple of times.

Three amazingly talented actresses brilliantly portray the 3 amazing women that were crucially instrumental in getting our Astronaut(s) back from space to Earth, when no one else at NASA could. A true story played by 3 truly gifted women. Brilliant, engaging, nail-biting, funny, honest & real...a real treat!

Watched with my college age daughter and son and they actually stayed off their phones they were so captivated by the movie. I love the bios at the end showing the actual women who the movie is centered around. Super encouraging for all young women and young men! You can do anything if you just press on!

Based on true story: I saw this movie in the movie theater and it's worth having this movie to add to my collection, to show my kids about the wonder of 'unspoken' women who were just as important as the men in the Aerospace industry (especially colored / minority / discrimination that took place) at that time.

I grew up as a kid of the '60 with the space program. Looking back now as an adult I had no idea what was required to put a man into space. This movie does a great job of showing the "brains" behind the space program. A very entertaining movie based on historical facts. We all enjoyed it very much!

This movie provided an insight unknown to most people. Most people have no idea the important role these women of color made. In the past it seemed you only saw white males working with NASA. John Glenn played an important role in making sure the expertise of these women was recognized.

This was not only a very entertaining movie, but a great story out of our history that has been totally unknown to the populace! The role these women played in the space program, and how some of them stood up for their own abilities is inspiring! Great performances by the actors all around.
