Based on the unbelievably true life stories of three of these women, known as \u0022human computers\u0022, we follow these women as they quickly rose the ranks of NASA alongside many of history\u0027s greatest minds specifically tasked with calculating the momentous launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit, and guaranteeing his safe return. Dorothy Vaughn, Mary Jackson, and Katherine Johnson crossed all gender, race, and professional lines while their brilliance and desire to dream big, beyond anything ever accomplished before by the human race, firmly cemented them in U.S. history as true American heroes.\u0022\u003C/p\u003E\u000A\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href\u003D\u0022https://ucf\u002Dflvc.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/01FALSC_UCF/b5i39v/alma99384128575206596\u0022 target\u003D\u0022_blank\u0022\u003ELearn more about the film.\u003C/a\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\u000A\u003Cp\u003EFor more information, visit the \u003Ca href\u003D\u0022https://ucf.libcal.com/calendar/ucf\u002Dlibraries\u002Devents/fall\u002D2026\u002Dhidden\u002Dfigures\u0022 target\u003D\u0022_blank\u0022\u003ELibrary\u0027s event page\u003C/a\u003E.\u003C/p\u003E",
