Incredible action. Heartwarming story. All set against the backdrop of the most exciting race in history--the race to the moon.
My kids stood up and cheered at the end of this terrific movie.
James Woods, Anabeth Gish, William Devane, William Atherton--what a great cast! And that little muppet Alex Linz--he totally put it over.
I could see this movie over and over (kid at heart.)
