Hidden Figures

As the United States raced against Russia to put a man in space, NASA found untapped talent in a group of female African-American mathematicians which served as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in U.S. history. Based on the true life stories of three of these women known as “human computers”, the film follows them as they are tasked with calculating the momentous launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit, and guaranteeing his safe return.
