Philip Kaufman’s stirring, Oscar-winning boys’ own epic, adapted from Tom Wolfe’s book about the test pilots who became America’s first astronauts. Unaccountably a box office flop back in 1983, it’s now regarded as a classic.
It’s back on screen in tribute to the late Sam Shepard, who received an Oscar nomination for his performance, to conclude the shed’s December Screen Homage Sunday brunch season honouring the cinema greats who carked it this year.
