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. Starring David McLean,
Charles Bronson and Mary Tyler Moore, 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 100 miles
above the earth...at four times the speed of sound!
At stake is American air supremacy and proof that
space travel is possible. But also at stake are their
lives...and the lives of the terrified wives they've
left behind!
