Firstly, the outfits which the three main characters wear are fantastic. Any fan of early 1960's fashion should buy this movie for that alone. No idea how much 'Colored Computers' working for NASA at that time earned but probably not enough to buy these stylish and über-fashionable dresses ! OK - about the film: Inspirational movie about three women 'Colored Computers', i.e. when a 'computer' was a human being doing calculations as opposed to a beige box (although ironically nearly all PC's are now black !). These three black women were intelligent, funny - and were key to putting John Glenn into orbit. The main theme of this movie is how they overcome sexual prejudice ("A Female Engineer" !) and the racial segregation prevalent in Virginia in the 1960's Superb acting by the three principle actresses - Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer and Janelle Monáe - and one of Costner's better roles. Highly recommendedRead full review

I have seen this film before and it is very interesting. The DVD I have purchased is part of a Xmas Gift so it remains sealed. I am sure the person to receive it will also enjoy once Santa has been!

What a great film! The atmosphere of the era shows through, let alone the subject matter itself. The acting is superb and shows just what the actual employees had go through, which would be completely unacceptable today. Highly recommended.
