CLIP DESCRIPTION:
When Homer's dad (Chris Cooper) shows up for the Rocket Boys' last launch, Homer (Jake Gyllenhaal) lets him push the button.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
NASA engineer Homer H. Hickam, Jr.'s autobiography provided the basis for this drama about a teenager coming of age at the dawn of the space race. In 1957, Homer Hickam (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a high school student in Coalwood, West Virginia when the Soviet Union launches Sputnik, the first man-made satellite. While most of his friends and neighbors react with fear or distrust, Homer is instantly fascinated and begins studying everything he can find on jet and rocket design. While many of Homer's friends are puzzled by his new obsession, several new friends share his enthusiasm, and with the encouragement of his teacher (Laura Dern), Homer and his fellow "Rocket Boys" begin designing and launching their own homemade missiles. However, Homer's father (Chris Cooper) takes a dim view of his son's interest in rockets and is convinced Homer's future should be the same as his own, working in the local coal mines. October Sky mixes the drama of traditional family conflicts with a nostalgic glimpse of life in the mid-50's and a look at the earliest days of our journey into space.

This is what all sons want is their dad being proud and giving approval
Damn straight
It is sad the some guys work ther whole life trying to get ther dad's approval and never do.
Yup
I'm just glad that I won't die without knowing my own potential.
Take my advice, if your child is happy, content with life, and self reliant that's all you should ask of them.
I gambled on 1 career that people barely hear about but all it took was 1 guest speaker and I knew it was right for me.
If it wasn't for scifi and movies like these I wouldn't want to keep going. "It's ADD" no it was depression with an over active brain but I can't blame them since they did try helping me. The days I don't work I'm a mess, I am made to fix things.
I just wish i had anything of value to show my dad, but im a drop kick weed smoker. But i still cry while watching this movie, high.
for real, I cried so hard at this movie because I wish I had a dad.
I think what makes this scene/movie work is because we all have seen 'kids with big dreams' movies before, but those movies are mostly about dreams about going to the big city, or to become a star or something self centered like that. Here it's about something more personal and that's something you don't see a lot of in movies especially for younger audiences. This is a GREAT movie for kids.
You're right. It's a great movie for kids because it celebrates LEARNING.
Saw this movie as a kid, thanks to my parents. Now I remember why I respect my father so much.
It’s also true. Homer was an engineer for NASA for a long time.
Yeah and instead of going to play football like every other movie they are doing something good
Yyi
The moment that got me was the teacher on her death bed, receiving validation that she made a difference.
I'm a grown man of 52. Pretty tough (I've always though). I get teary-eyed when I see this, because my Dad was a lot like Homer's dad. He was a former Marine Drill Instructor that died when I was 11 without ever putting his arm around me or telling me he was proud of me or loved me. It still affects me but I have two sons that I tell it to. If I was Homer in this movie, that one gesture would have meant the world to me
Brother, I realize this reply is 8 years late in coming, but my father had a similar background and a similar attitude. I feel you man, and I hope you read this. He wasn't necessarily mean to me, but he never supported anything I did, and took jabs at me whenever he could (not physical, just mental). He passed when I was 15, that was 37 years ago. Stay strong man.
You're so spot on with that comment. My father was a Marine as well. And the same as you, nothing I ever did made him say he was proud of me. Change the cycle and mentor someone
The soundtrack for this film makes me cry! The violin is a perfect compliment to this last rocket. It's bittersweet and beautiful, and I do love the fiction that John Hickam Sr. did make it to a launch.
Homer Hickam Sr.* Sorry!
GCKMimi Fiction? Aw shucks. But makes a great ending.
The story is true, actually, but certain things were fictionalized. I highly recommend it.
+GCKMimi I have learned the orchestral background music on my cello, it is truly a beautiful song to be put in the background of such a beautiful scene.
He did
1:51 - 1:56 always gets me. :')
Imagine one of the last greatest things you ever see before you die being a reminder that what you devoted your entire life to doing actually made a lasting impact.
True, wish of a teacher fulfilled!!
Didn’t happen irl tho.
Love this scene. So moving. The father's pride at the end... not necessary for success but oh so heart warming for youngsters to stand on.
Wish my old man would swallow his pride, Going on 30 years now. 😞
This scene of a father accepting his son's passion is what leaves me in tears. :')
You can tell that he's actually proud of Homer
Only a real man would cry watching this movie.
Thumbs up!
chris henson from dateline nbc.. to catch a pedophile?... no way you have emotion...
Chris Hansen You're damn right, man!
First time I cried in years
Guess I’m a real man
When the violin comes in, man tears come out. 😭
The role of the teacher was amazing. She was very supportive. Loved the movie.
I love this movie so much. It's based on West Virginia, but actually all of it was filmed here in Tennessee not far from where I live. I got to see some of it being filmed. My old town mayor is actually an extra in this movie. My father had a somewhat similar life, because his father was a coal miner. While my father didn't turn out to be some rocket scientist, he did have a better life than what his father did...he is retired Air Force and an engineer. But my father wouldn't be the man he is without the support of his father working in those coal mines. He did what he had to do, was a very tough man. His father in this movie reminds me a lot of my grandpa...working in the mines was rough on him.
😍
This movie hit kinda hard for me. My family on my mother's side is from West Virginia and every little bit of it made me think about how even then there wasn't a lot of excitement and it showed in some scenes. Like where they're talking about how the Science Fair was like going to the Big Apple in a way.
163 people read your comments to the end and can relate. Well done Sir/Madam
1:26 "Look at it go Homer. This one's gonna go for miles." The best words that I pick in the screen. I love it
This is easily one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen. Just a boy of my age following his ambitions against all odds and winning strong in the end. I love that story line and even though it comes up in many films, this one may have pulled it off the best.
+CoasterRebel Its been done so many times because it is so real, so true to reality and ot ourselves no matter how much we may or may not believe it.
And seeing a kid winning not because of his sports ability, or special musical skill, but because of his curiosity and determination.
In real life, Homers dad was actually more supportive. He gave homer the math book instead of the teacher Ms. Riley.
This may be my favorite movie ever. I think the most sentimental part of this video is when the teacher (Mrs. Reiley, I think) saw the rocket in the sky. I'll be honest, I cried at that part. To think of the impact you had on a group of kid's lives, and then have that be one of the last things you see before you die. Truely, a touching masterpiece.
This is one of the most inspirational movies. Never give up on your dreams. I love the ending where Homer’s father makes it to their last firing of the rocket. The scene where Homer tells his father that his father is his real hero is so emotional. This is a wonderful movie.
The first time Homer's father contributed to his passion for rockets was to give him some likely ruined cement from the mine, a meager provision. He said, "It's yours if you want it."
And here at the end of the story, Homer gives his father the honor of launching their best rocket yet and the one celebrating the science fair victory. And he says, "It's yours if you want it."
The smile on Homer's face, when he offers him the opportunity to push the button, is the expression of his joy that his dad finally came to a launch, coupled with the love and respect for his father which has grown in him over the course of the story.
For me, the significance of this film has never been about Homer succeeding at realizing his dream, but rather the reconciliation and healing of his relationship with his father.
Also, did anybody else know that October Sky is an anagram of Rocket Boys, the book that inspired the film?
In real life, Homers dad was actually more supportive. Homer said that making his dad like this in the movie would make it more entertaining to watch.
One of the best "got something in my eye" scenes ever. Too bad this clip cuts off before the triumphant segue to the thunderous Space Shuttle launch at the very end.
They should have shown part of this then switch over to the shuttle flying transition, that might have been cool
@@jamesholcombe435 thumbs up
Watched a movie like 5 times. The music, simplicity of the character, his passion makes me cry every time. Watch this movie whenever feeling low.
Hi Akshay. I first saw this movie around 16 years ago on HBO. It instantly became a favourite. Whenever I'm feeling low, I watch this movie, it is very very dear to my heart. And I have recommended it to all my friends. :)
I never saw a trailer for this movie when I first heard about it. I only heard it was about a kid that wants to build rockets and eventually work at NASA. I didn't even know the time period it was set in. So my immediate thought was some kind of modern sci fi movie with a lot of technical jargon. I was pleasantly surprised at what this movie turned out to be. No sc fi. No big special effects. Just a really great story about perseverance. One of my favorites of all time.
+BM
I think it's also a story about how important it is to have ambitions or else you end up stagnating, working in a coal mine that eventually runs out of coal and you end up on a dead-end street. It's why I hate how Canada bases all its economy on oil and mining.
Some Saudi prince decides to flood the market with oil and all of a sudden the entire nation is in recession. That is why as citizens and as a nation, we need to strive for something greater in order to survive.
one of my most favorite soundtracks EVER.
Forreals! This movie has one of the best soundtracks
Oscar Rivas Mark Isham :) same guy who wrote for "Miracle" the hockey movie with Kurt Russell. :)
and River Runs Through it, also a classic
It really is a fantastically well done soundtrack.
They did such a good job with the sound track I was in tears when this played and the movie was over
The feeling Homer Hickam showed when his father showed up, was how I felt tonight, when my father made it to our last performance of our play "the servant of two masters". :) no greater feeling to me. I don't blame him for not making the first few, because of work. But that's what makes my father my hero. And it's not when he's there with us, it's because he's there for us. I mean tonight was the night almost teared up after the show and saw my father. I'm also proud to see my friends from when I was younger. We'll all remember, Conroe high school theatre department made history after 87 years of making it to regionals. And though we're not going to state, were proud of how far we've gotten. My father is proud of all of us, and everyone else in our city showed support.:)
I lost my father to a 20 year battle with Parkinsons Disease in October of last year. One of the last great memories I have of him was him telling me how proud of me he was. This moment fits that memory perfectly
I've told my kids if I ever get hit by a bus don't waste any time thinking about the things they said or didn't say, or did or didn't do. Just remember I'm proud of them and love them and none of that stuff matters.
Seriously my absolute favorite film of all time. Theres just something special about it.
My dad died of Cancer when I was 25, im 44 now and he never saw my career or the woman I married and all I hope for is that he is proud of me, like every son, we just want to make our parents and especially our fathers proud.
A man will work his entire lifetime, perhaps make millions of dollars- but to me that reassuring hand on the back would be worth much more.Fathers please remember this.
Thank You
I saw this movie in theaters as a 13-year-old and I was holding back tears during this scene. I remember my dad saying somebody sitting near us got up after the movie ended and wiped his eyes. This is what's missing from today's films - that emotional punch. Today's films are so cynical that they end up making us feel absolutely nothing in the end.
Thank you Mark Isham for giving this film an incredible score
Prodiginous!
Elk4theBeast214 it is a good pun prodigious
I know that I watch this movie once or twice a month.but watch clips every day.
I’ve been to homer hickams hometown. Some of the mine shops are still there. The shop where they tooled the nozzles is still standing, albeit abandoned. But it was still awesome to see in person.
No matter how much success I get, I will never be able to thank my parents for what they have done to make me a good and a respectful man!
The music in this scene... Cry every time.
Not only the 1950s but West Virginia of all places. This must have been truly a sight to see.
Best movie scene ever. SO emotional
+TrueScore Especially with the soundtrack
when they got to the teacher i just couldn't
This scene and when he tells Homer tells his dad he's his hero..gets me every time.
And now that I have a son of my own it resonates a lot more with me.
No greater feeling for a man than his fathers approval and admiration
Great soundtrack and great movie...a lot a teary-eyed moments...but man does it hit when Miss Riley's scene comes up and there she is bedridden looking out the window at her rocket and how proud she was of them (the heart of Coalwood).
This was my father and i's movie as a kid. We watched this and spent a whole summer building rockets when i was 10.
He died a couple years ago, but every time i see a space X launch i remember himt with an arm on my shoulder as we pushed the button.
Great movie.
Seeing Homer’s dad show up brought tears to me.
Movies back then, mane. They sure know how to make us cry.
One of the best scores in a movie that I’ve seen!! Gives me chills when the violin starts playing as soon as Homer’s dad accepts the offer to shoot off the rocket and the climax of when he puts his arm around him….. damn…
This is my favorite scene of all time, the cinematography of the people from all over the town watching the rocket shooting up is beautiful.
Big love for Mrs Raily and all teachers like her
For those that would like to know. The film was made partly in Oliver Springs, TN outside of Knoxville. in the town they still have Olga Coal signs up. and the original screen used launched "Ms Reiley" rocket along with other props from the film. if you travel down the road from the town you can see what was used as Homers House, The tipple of the mine. and the Shop where homers rockets were partly built with the help of his fathers shop workers.
Don't mind me, got a rocket in my eye.
I love that moment as his dad is looking up at the rocket and he clearly has this realization that this is his sons greatest accomplishmentment to date, and you can feel the emotion as he looks down and over at his son, and he stares at his son instead, His greatest accomplishment, and as he puts his hand around his son, homer stops looking at the rocket, as hes attained his own greatest accomplishment in his eyes, but its not the rocket- its the pride of his own father
Enough to make any grown man cry
The roar of the rocket really is something.
My favorite character in this movie is Miss Riley. She believed in the rocket boys when no one else did. A selfless and sincere teacher can change lives.
Once it hit 0:06 and his expression changed as well as the music started playing the tears came like a landslide. As someone that grew up without the presence of my dad and him returning into my life I know the feeling that was conveyed at that moment. Sadly we aren't talking anymore because not only do I live away from him but the things that interest me just aren't accepted by him I hope one day he will learn to accept my interests just seeing this scene again gives me hope.
Sorry for your situation... But, you talk about his need to respect your interests. That's selfish. Don't let your pride get in the way of family. Besides, we are told to honor and respect them. There's deep wisdom and true freedom in that advice.
Dwight Spits
Times are changing the concept of everything that my parents say is right is in itself a selfish conformity. I love him and respect him but if I got to force myself to tailor my interests on what is acceptable and not acceptable then why should I even call it living it my life if it's not what I want. I turn 25 in 4 days since graduating high school I've served in the army attended college and learned to live independently. I can't say I learned everything there is to know about life but I no without a doubt where my interests lie. This is not a matter of pride it's a matter of respect and acceptance from both party's. Real life situations doesn't end just like this movie right here it can either take years or it will end with one side passing away without their support. That's how I feel though I just felt like rambling for no reason what it ultimately boils down to is both of coming to an understanding.
Are you Otaku.....
AMVGFan It reminds me of my father silently showing up in spirit every time something great is happening in my own life. It makes me realize that he still looks out over me even though he isn't within physical form to show his support for me. It brings a tear to my eye every single time the father shows up near the end to remind me what my father would've been like if he saw how much I've grown up these past few years of my life!😢😭
A real father and son moment. I'll bet that rocket went all the way into outer space and never came back down.
You know what the most touching part of this scene is: earlier in the movie his friend explains to him how to show a girl that you like her when you are shy, it's by slowly putting your arm around her. In this scene his father does the exact same, never being able to tell his son that he likes him, he slowly puts his arm around his shoulder. It made me tear up so much, I love this connection.
Im crying a lot right now
To me this movie has always had a big part of being able to relate to our fathers.
It is a tribute to Homer that he could be the adult in his difficult relationship with his father.
His face is one of sweet innocence and resilience, able to get past all the problems he has endured.
Damn onions.
Every single time...
October sky was the movie where I found a true gem in Hollywood.
Jake ❤❤.
A student of mine, his mother told me he wants to be an astronaut or a scientist for Nasa, and yet he's never heard of the start of it all. I'm going to give him this movie for Christmas, I just hope he feels some inspiration like I did when my dad showed me this years and years ago
As cheesy as this sounds, this is probably one of the most meaningful gifts that is in a form of a film that you can ever give to anybody who hasn't seen it. This scene really hits home, and I fucking love it. I really hope your student was positively moved by this film as I was, further inspiring him to work harder towards achieving his goal of becoming an astronaut. (Also, from a personal stance, I really appreciate teachers like you who continue to inspire young men and woman to becoming the person they want to be!)
Show him the V1 rockets.. that is what really started it all... or you could even go back further when the chinese developed gun powder and built rockets
Kopihucky Shea Lee As a teacher I encourage my students to all follow their dreams no matter how absurd. One of them wants to be a doctor and wants this at 10 years old, another wants to be a vet, two of them want to be martial arts masters, and so on. Seeing their progress and thinking about how far they have to go, it may be a little selfish for saying this, but makes me feel like Miss Riley in a way that's why when I think of my students, I think of her and this wonderful movie.
Gets me every time
Watching this movie with your daddy hits different. Especially during the end credits scene.
1:00 I really enjoyed the little touch that during the entire movie their countdowns are off, right until the final launch. Yes I know they had the button now, but it shows the progression of their building and getting it dialed in right at the final rocket. Awesome movie!
Why can’t I stop crying
Hey who put these bowl of onions here???
+michael john these damn onion ninjas
2:02 reminded me of my grand father he was a tough man thick skined man buy when he saw a car I worked on from gound up he did that and it meng the world to me. And I miss him
This entire sequence makes me cry every time the music is just perfect and the fact his dad finally showed up and is proud of him is such a sweet moment....
so heart touching. I got all misty-eyed. kudos to the writers/actors and every one involved in making of this film.
I just lost 5 lbs in tears....I could only wish my ol man would wrap his arm around me like that to let me know I did a great job
:-( I'm sure he would have been a proud dad of yours.
GOWRI SANKAR no my dad hated me....always thought I got in the way and still does...nothing will change that...but I will always hold my son Liam any time he wants I love my boy turned 7 months this past 24th....my dad didn't care to much to see me or his grand child that day......I wish I didn't read this comment to night
One of my favourites. Right up there with, "Rudy".
I love this movie. Seen it dozens of times. This scene never fails to have me in tears.
I will never get tired of this scene or this movie but I've seriously gotta stop cutting onions when I watch it...
I can’t watch these father and son scenes without crying. I wish I could have had that kind of relationship with my father. He is so proud of his son. Chris Cooper and Jake Gyllenhaal are amazing actors.
한국분? 이거 아는 사람 되게 적은데 진짜 반갑네요
cried my eyes out in this scene... such a beautiful and inspirational movie
The music. Everything about this movie is awsome
So many successful stories start with teachers that were good at creating the spark of " what if " curiosity that lasts a lifetime . Sometimes it reaches for the stars .
I love you dad
This part of the movie always brings tears to my eyes .
If this movie doesn’t inspire you to follow your dreams idk what will. Brings a grown man to tears
This scene makes me cry everytime I watch it.😭😭😭
According to history, this last rocket went higher than Mt. Everest. Well done, Homer.
Awesomest part of the movie! The violin music playing in the background made my eyes teary.
What a powerful scene, and film. One of the few movies that makes me tear up no matter how many times I watch it. That strained father-son relationship.....right in the feels.
the older i get the more movies like this make me cry
Laura Dern is awesome in this movie. I love the shot of her seeing her rocket shooting towards the sky
R.I.P. miss riley
Such a great movie. Hard to believe it's now twenty years old.
for an aspiring rocketeer this is a great fucking film so many feels
No, but I've been to the real site in Coalwood, WV, and it looks very similar. It's actually much closer to the center of town than in the movie. O'Dell's dad, in his 80's, drove me around what's left of the town. I'll never forget it. That was ten years ago or so. Many homes were boarded-up because they shut that mine down.
2:01 the moment me and my family freaked out thinking he was going to grab his butt. "Good job, son" LOL Those were the days.
+mrArchduke LOL! I watched this movie back in school in two different classes and in both classes as soon as that part happened everybody started laughing.
You have a pretty sick family
Sigurd Torvaldsson I think it's great to have a good open honest laugh with my family.
mrArchduke we were watching this movie in 8th grade and we all thought he was going to do that too we couldn't stop laughing
Brokeback Rocket
Not to many things that give you tears of joy anymore, what a great scene.
It's Coalwood, WV. Big Creek H.S. is in War, WV, a couple of miles away. I've seen it but it was just closed, about a year ago.
This part gets me every time
The song the plays gets me everytime!
Yeah. I got tears again as soon as the violin started.
One of the first movies to make me cry, I watched this as a kid. One of my favorite movies of all time.
AUK 31 (the rocket labeled MISS RILEY in this film) was the Rocket Boy's last and biggest rocket
As Homer described in his book, it was 6 1/2 feet long, 2 1/4 inches wide, and designed to reach a 5 mile altitude (although he didn't how high it actually flew on that day in 1960)
I come back to watch this when I need hope.
This always makes me smile 🙂
imagine if the rocket just came back down and exploded everyone the end.
That’s a bit sinister don’t ya think
I'm more thinking of it hitting a random plane that happened to be flying overhead
That would be funny
I first saw this movie in school, and this part still today makes me teary. What a great movie and I love that I watched it at school
