October Sky is a 1999 drama directed by Joe Johnston, based on true events and the memoir by Homer H. Hickam Jr. Set in Coalwood, West Virginia during 1957, the film follows a high school student who becomes inspired by the launch of Sputnik to pursue an unconventional dream. Determined to break free from the coal mines that have defined his town for generations, he teams up with friends to build rockets, facing resistance from his father and other obstacles along the way. Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Homer Hickam Jr., alongside Chris Cooper as his father, with supporting performances from Chris Ellis, Chris Owen, Elya Baskin, and Chad Lindberg.

This is a single-disc DVD release from Universal Pictures with a runtime of one hour and forty-eight minutes and a PG rating. The disc includes bonus features such as a commentary track with Homer Hickam himself, a featurette titled Aiming High: The Story of the Rocket Boys, production notes, and the theatrical trailer. Add this inspiring true story to your collection at a fraction of the original retail cost.
