The Challenger Disaster

Richard Feynman (William Hurt), one of America's best-known physicists, is dying of cancer when he is asked to join the commission investigating the 1986 Challenger explosion. He wants an answer, and he distrusts the polished briefings meant to supply it. James Hawes follows him and General Kutyna (Bruce Greenwood) through the hearings, and a man in a rumpled suit sits in the committee room with the seven lost astronauts hanging over every page.
