Description
VHS TAPE. 1 hour and 48 minutes, color, stereo surround, digitally recorded. This is the special edition, with bonus footage added. It includes a featurette: “Spotlight on Location,” a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film, with interviews with the cast and crew. This was a sleeper hit in theatres when it was first released. Jake Gyllenhaal stars as a high school boy with dreams. He intends to build his own rocket, after seeing the Soviet satellite Sputnik literally streak over his head in a coal-mining community in West Virginia, 1957. Along with 3 other buddies, and his teacher, Laura Dern, the development gets underway while his disapproving father, the great Chris Cooper, looks on. Very well done. ” … a great movie-going experience.” VHS FORMAT.
