Monday Morning Movie – "Hidden Figures" (2016) In-Person
As the United States raced against Russia to put a man in space, NASA found untapped talent in a group of African American female mathematicians that served as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in U.S. history. Based on the true-life stories of three of these women, we follow them as they rose the ranks of NASA alongside many of history's greatest minds specifically tasked with calculating the launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit and guaranteeing his safe return. Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer), Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe), and Katherine Gobels Johnson (Taraji P. Henson) crossed all gender, race, and professional lines while their brilliance and desire to dream big, beyond anything ever accomplished before. Runtime: 127 minutes.
