Hidden Figures
NASA discovered untapped potential in an African-American group of female mathematicians who were able to create one of America’s greatest missions. We are based on three incredible stories about these women (known as “human computers”) and follow them as they rise the ranks at NASA, alongside some of the greatest minds in history, specifically those who were responsible for calculating John Glenn’s historic launch into space, and ensuring his safe return. Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson and Katherine Gobels Johnson transcended all boundaries of gender and race. Their brilliance, ambition, and drive to achieve great things, far beyond what the human race has ever achieved, cemented them as American heroes. 20th Century Fox
