October Sky (1999) is a an inspirational drama set in the era of the cold war where Homer Hickham (Gyllenhaal) is a young man who gained inspiration from the Sputnik launch. What makes this a great film is also the fact that this is based on a true story, a story about a young man who had a dream, and fought for it, however much is father is against it, (childish he says).
This is also one of my favourite performances by Jake Gyllenhaal, and was a mark for a young talent emerging into Hollywood, and is now renowned as one of the worlds best. An inspirational film that will no doubt fascinate you into the complex world of space exploration and physics.
