"October Sky" is a really great movie for the whole (thinking) family. An intelligent, fascinating and well acted story about a high school student in a coal mining town in WV who decides (in 1957) that he wants to build a rocket. Based on a true story, it had me riveted to the screen and totally entertained... and didn't include one speck of stuff that I wouldn't show to kids of any age.

A rare find, and even more so because I saw it on a recent flight.
