I don't know if any of you have seen the movie, or read the book, but I saw the movie last week. It's a very good film about some kids in West Virginia, in 1957, building rockets after Sputnik goes into orbit. Not only do you get a nice story, a true story, but you get a look into West Virginia's past. Very Real. I don't know what it was rated, but there is a little strong language.

I saw it about a month ago. It's a very good film, and was directed by the guy who came up with the X-wing, IIRC.
