This is an excellent made for TV docudrama concerning the investigation of the shutter disaster. Five minutes into the film, the space shutter blows up. Dr. Richard Feynman (William Hurt) is asked to be on a commission to find the cause of the disaster. He is the outsider of what is a NASA good ole boy commission.
The film was fascinating as one sees the importance of contacts and dollars. Eve Best did an excellent job as Sally Ride, the lone woman on the commission. While we all know the climax of the film with the ice water demonstration, I had no idea how we got to that point...and that is why the film is worth watching, a man struggling to find the truth while fighting a terminal disease
