series True West: Sam Shepard on Film
Directed by Philip Kaufman | 1983
With Sam Shepard, Ed Harris, Scott Glenn, Dennis Quaid, Barbara Hershey
This rollicking adaptation of the acclaimed book by Tom Wolfe offers a sprawling, vivid account of the Mercury Seven—America’s very first astronauts—and the development of NASA’s space program. The heart and soul of the film is Shepard’s iconic, Academy Award-nominated portrayal of sound barrier-breaking test pilot Chuck Yeager, a role he imbues with touching dignity.
