➱ STORYLINE:
Hidden Figures (2016) tells the inspiring true story of three African-American women mathematicians—Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson—who worked at NASA and played pivotal roles in one of the greatest operations in history: the launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit. Set against the backdrop of the 1960s space race and the civil rights movement, the film highlights their struggles and triumphs as they break barriers and prove their worth in a predominantly white, male-dominated field. Their contributions not only helped to achieve this monumental event but also changed the face of NASA and American society.
➱ STAFF REVIEW:

Henson, Octavia Spencer, and Janelle Monáe are exceptional, capturing the intelligence, determination, and resilience of these remarkable women. The film's portrayal of their professional challenges and personal lives is both inspiring and deeply moving. With its powerful message of perseverance and equality, Hidden Figures is a must-watch that celebrates unsung heroes who made history.
