here be a director and a writer who know that they have a real story that need a minimum amount of add on work to make a fine movie . the time pass early on be mark by the fighter jet evolution be very subtle . the haunting look back at edward air force base and chuck yeager career seem to grind the movie and remind you where all these hero come from . and that there be more hero wait . sam shepard portrayal of mr. yeager be particularly good and and i enjoy watch this film . every october 14th .
