Covering some 15 years, The Right Stuff recounts the formation of America's space program, concentrating on the original Mercury astronauts.

The remaining four Mercury boys are Deke Slayton (Scott Paulin), Scott Carpenter (Charles Frank), Wally Schirra (Lance Henriksen) and Gordon Cooper (Dennis Quaid).

interesting enough, a little put on to make it hollywood-acceptable. Chuck Yeager never looked like the actor that portrays him (too tall - Gen Yeager is only about 5'-9"), but Allen Shepard's was a near-double.
