Here's a guy's movie. Machines. Drinking. Manly men slapping other manly men on the back as they secretly plan to one-up him the next day. Competition and dreams. From sound barrier to the barrier of the atmosphere, The Right Stuff follows the men who test the most advanced technology in the world from their puddle-jumping days to the days of becoming American heroes. A brilliantly-paced three-hour survey, The Right Stuff has dead-on acting, great effects and a story that's OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

But seriously, it's really good. Check it out.
