Before Top Gun, Apollo 13, or The Right Stuff, this breathtaking, jet-fueled journey of high-altitude filmmaking blasted audiences from zero-G to 4,000 miles per hour with its thrilling tale of America’s victory in the space race. X-15 sets the sky as the limit for excitement! The courageous pilots of the Air Force’s X-15 program are determined to take an experimental rocket plane high above the Earth and into space at six times the speed of sound!
The film stars Charles Bronson and Mary Tyler Moore, and was released in 1961.
In addition to a display, there will be an Introduction prior to the movie, along with Q&A and discussion following the movie.
