Sinopsis(1)
En 1957, Homer Hickam, que vive en la pequeña ciudad minera de Coalwood, sabe, como todos los chicos, que acabará trabajando en las minas de carbón. No podrá eludir ese destino porque él no tiene el talento de su hermano para el fútbol americano. Pero, cuando el satélite soviético Sputnik atraviesa el cielo de octubre, todo cambia. Homer y sus amigos deciden fabricar un cohete y, a pesar de los fracasos iniciales, logra convencer a todos de que incluso en Coalwood se puede soñar con las estrellas y la carrera espacial. (Universal Pictures España)

I think everyone has a little film they'd stick their neck out for and defend its reputation tooth and nail, and I’ve found such a cult-classic in October Sky. Although stories like this about a downhill journey towards a goal are often filled with irritating and, for some, downright unbearable clichés, I can sometimes be quite willingly swept away by them, and in this case Johnston really hit the spot. If you don’t expect anything very original or above-par craftsmanship, you'll be so comfortable that after just a few minutes you'd call your mates at the pub and tell them to wait for you for two hours.

A very enjoyable film in which pathos, true family values and other proper things are thankfully kept at bay by a relaxed mood and very good performances by all involved. It may seem that a family drama about a boy from a mining town who wants to be a rocket designer is not exactly typical substance for Joe Johnston. But it only seems so - he won with the atmosphere of the period, a bunch of boys and their adventurous zeal as always, although towards the end, true, it dragged on a little.
