Movies, Munchies, and More: October Sky

Every Tuesday at 1pm, come to the library for a cup of coffee, a sweet treat, and either a movie or a presentation. The door will open at 12:30p.

Movie Synopsis: John Hickam (Chris Cooper) is a West Virginia coal miner who loves his job and expects his sons, Jim (Scott Miles) and Homer (Jake Gyllenhaal), to follow in his footsteps. But Jim gets a football scholarship, and Homer becomes interested in rocket science after seeing Sputnik 1 crossing the sky. John disapproves of his son's new mania, but Homer begins building rockets with the help of friends and a sympathetic teacher (Laura Dern). Rocketry, he hopes, will prove his ticket to a better life. (PG, 1h 48m, 1999).
