Hidden Figures

2016 Drama

Three African-American women are hired by NASA to help with one of the greatest operations in history: the launch of astronaut John Glenn (Powell) into orbit. Mathematician Katherine Johnson (Henson) and her two colleagues, Dorothy Vaughan (Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Monáe), are thrown into the chaos as the United States Government pressures NASA to catch up with Russia. Working in a segregated division, Katherine and the other women attempt to keep up with the work. As the launch date approaches, the women fight racial barriers to complete a landmark mission.
