CLIP DESCRIPTION:
When Homer (Jake Gyllenhaal) proves to Principal Turner (Chris Ellis) that his rocket didn't start the fire, he gets re-enrolled in school.
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.

In real high schools sadly, instead of being rewarded from proving your innocence, you get suspended for 3-5 days for being a smart ass in front of an administrator. :/
I rather be a smartass and proving the Adminstrators wrong then going through my life with a false criminal record for something that I didn't do. Homer did the right then plus the principle couldn't suspend him when one, he wasn't technically part of the school and two is that the principle wanted Homer to prove it.
He wasnt a student at the time, they couldnt have suspended him. ;)
The principal was being the smart ass first. Rudely interrupting him to make that sarcastic “obviously you learned more in the coal mines than you did in high school” comment. But that’s how “authority” is. Completely one sided. Can act however they want, say whatever they want, and think you have no right to stand up for yourself or throw their attitude back in their face.
Fair trade, get a few days off for being factually correct
Not in California! We don't suspend anyone here
I gotta give it to that principal; he owned up to his mistake.
Surprisingly.
No, he just realized the value in homer , he just wanted him to win the science competition for his school.
@Tall Kid Easy, easy, it's a M O V I E.
@@travislindsey7256 I just want to point out that the principal wasn't very supportive of the performance in sciences of his school earlier in the movie. He accepted the fact that those kids' only chance to not go in the mine was USA football, and that was only for a little few of them. That was a very stale and closed society. It is more like he started to see the value of education, rather than just seeing Homer as a way for the school to gain publicity.
@@travislindsey7256 That’s part of it, but a lesser man would have doubled down and sought retribution for being “embarrassed”.
The point isn't that the equation is advanced, it's that Homer realizes he isn't destined to live his father's life when he applies himself to something he has passion for. Everyone's giggling about "this is so easy; you learn this early on in a basics physics course". Homer's character wasn't in any physics courses; he was working full time as a coal miner when he taught himself this.
Blaise Telfer That's arguably more impressive than a physic's student learning a complex equation.
Imagine what such a person could have achieved, if he was correctly supported, with free time to do what he wants. Imagine what all people could achieve if you simply found out what they are good with, what they want and giving them the resources to figure it out on their own.
That's not allowed to happen because the elite need control. They need people to learn a system and follow that system so that the elite can benefit. They need people in the rat race to produce tax money. But you're right.
exactly, most human potential is wasted.
The equation is super basic
“If you didn’t start that fire, who did?”
Well, it’s not exactly his job to solve that, is it? If a persons killed and a suspect is cleared but no one is found, they don’t just slap the charge on someone proven innocent. After its proven to not be him, his part in all this should be over
They do if it’s the Phoenix Wright universe
Welcome to the argument from ignorance fallacy.
He was just asking him you lunatic
I wanna know why no one insisted on seeing the Flare long ago. "Heres the rocket that started this fire." "Thats not one of ours...."
@@phillicheesestake right, and the point is he shouldn't be asking him at all. "Do you mind telling me who did" is already too much to ask
What gets me is that they never took the time to look at the damn thing until after he proved his innocence. Nothing like guilty until proven innocent huh
I doubt most people had a idea of what the flare was, again rockets were still only used in the military not some kids
Pretty much the same mentality we have today. Only difference today is that it's now "trial by social media".
@@keiko909 So true!
Jake Heke
Not exactly! In the House Impeachment Hearings, everyone knows the truth. They just pretend otherwise to fulfill a narrative in an attempt to impeach.
@@datsumcrzysht yeah they knew the truth That's why they voted to impeach.
"Homer, why do your rockets always end up hitting London?"
"Gee I don't know, I just followed Dr. Braun's instructions."
OMFG 😂
Nice one
I aim for the stars, but I always end up hitting London ~Wernher von Braun~
"I shoot zem up, who knows where they come down.
That's a different department", said Werner von Braun.

"'Some have harsh words for this man of renown
But some think our attitude
Should be one of gratitude

"Get him Homer get him."
He's like, "That's my boy!"
When you realize your buddy get it
It was nice to see the shermonator in something else.
@@macmcleod1188 hahahaha I love when I see someone who watched the American pie series of movies
“Sherminated”
I may not be a rocket scientist but I look up to Homer and the rocket boys so much! I was always different and diagnosed with autism at 19. I always pushed myself beyond my limits and learned to drive, work and now close to my dream of being a counselor and therapist. This story inspired me to never stop pushing myself to achieve my potential. I reached out to Homer to thank him and he replied saying he was proud of me. I will never forget this movie nor the great men that it is based on
I have autism too, and I strive to show people that I am not slow, stupid, or irrelevant. When you are different, you can't stop proving yourself to others.
You know something i noticed?
This is the ONLY high school movie that advocates education. All other high school movies are about losing your virginity, rebellion, becoming a sports star, super star, musical star, etc. And they are all the same and stupid (except for a few). But how come this movie isn't getting the attention it deserves?!
Because sadly, education is not highly valued today. There is higher value places on garbage like you named, Instagram, Facebook. If you watch some of the interviews done today, people know all about trivial things like Hollywood and useless information but are completely lost on American history. People are becoming brainwashed morons
ghostrider Part of the problem is that it is now so much cheaper to be uneducated than educated. Of course, it was always cheaper, but the gap has become insane. College is tens of thousands of dollars, and that doesn’t even include the fact that you need to pay for food and living accommodations, as well as even find a job afterwards. It’s no wonder so many are driven away from education.
Micah Goldson "they" want us uneducated. It's easier to control the uneducated.
have you seen Stand and Deliver?
Oh...they want you to be educated. Just not TOO educated, to realize how screwed-over you are getting and make trouble about it.
I've met homer in real life , nice guy
The actor who played young Homer or the actual Homer himself?
Mata the One-X the world may never know
He just watched a Simpsons episode while drunk
@@matadeverdoemden
Yes
DOE
Turner's reaction is both infuriating and respectable. It's clear that his 1950's strong, masculine mentality won't allow him to apologize, but he also has the maturity to admit to his mistakes through begrudging encouragement.
most brilliant part of this movie is that "October Sky" is an anagram for "Rocket Boys".
I’m sorry WHAT
@@Lulzipopable You can read can't you?
@@Lulzipopable Not sure if you're confused or surprised with this comment. Just in case you're confused "Rocket Boys" is the name of the book written by Homer himself that the movie is based on. The movies name got changed to October Sky because Rockets Boys didn't test well with female audiences in test screenings.
@@breezyhillproductions349 lol no I understand the significance of the term “rocket boys” I just didn’t realize that the term “October sky” was an anagram.
@@paulmichaelfreedman8334 stfu
This is a completely lovely movie. If you ever get a chance watching it, please do. The final scene is absolutely beautiful.
Watched it today for the first time it was so good
@@DiabloGato10 If you can, get hold of the book "Rocket Boys" by Homer Hickham.
The movies is wonderful, but the book gives everything that much more depth. And after reading it, I got to admit that the person I would have loved the most to meet in real life is not Homer or any of them boys, but Homers dad John. The book shows a completely different John compared to the movie - a man that made all of this possible. The movie acknowledges this in the wonderful scene that ends in the marvelous line "He isn't my hero".
I'm seeing in the comments people talking about how Homers math he uses to see where the rocket landed is basic. I mean you have to take it into account that the movie takes place around 1957-ish. When people first introduced the concept of people walking on the moon it was pretty ridiculous. Especially since most jobs weren't that advanced. Now days schools are teaching kids/teens more complex things like common core I guess. Back then schools only taught more "simple" subject since the only good paying job in that town was coal mining, the students wouldn't need to know what Homer did. So the math Homer did may be basic *now days* but back then it was more rare for kids to be taught that sort of math
Knowledge is cumulative
That's patently false. It didn't require much math and science to simply graduate (and it still doesn't). But algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus etc were all available. My mother quite literally attended a one room school. As such, there was not a seperate class for advanced maths, just different texts. Whereas my father worked very hard just to get through basic algebra in a larger school.
In the book, he mentioned that he had to fight for his school to have a calculus class. And when it finally was finally introduced for only 6 students. He didn't even get accepted into the class. So he had to have Quinton teach him.
Heh, no. It was rare in Homer's part of the country, because he lived in an insanely poor coal mining town in Appalachia (West Virginia), which is the poorest section of the U.S., by FAR. Its essentially the white version of the ghetto--except white ghetto's tend to be significantly more poor than black ghettos since rural areas have less access to public goods.
Homer's school was underfunded, the entire education system in that area was underfunded. Which is why the classes only taught basics, because by the time students got there, they were way behind. But for MOST of the nation, Calculus was actually more prevalent as a class than it is today. If anything many schools have regressed in terms of difficulty of their curriculum, as more and more subjects are being pushed "upward" to intro classes of college. (The number of students that need Into to Calc in college has skyrocketed).
A lot of complex reasons for this. But overall, if you took the average HS student today and tossed them back into a math class in 57, they'd probably be covering the same subject. The only things that have really changed is there is less gym time, less classical/history education and more focus on computer training and literacy.
I thought Common Core has been debunked. Who teaches that anymore?
Ms. Riley, the teacher we all want to have in high school; smart, beautiful and encouraging us all the way even when our desire is not something they teach in high school.
Still one of my favorite movies...Loved Chris Cooper's character...also, loved all the historical footage at the end of the movie.
I’ll take that apology now, on camera, written out, in triplicate, and a VERY nice dinner!
Are you followin' this Mr. Turner?
Moments later "stay out of my territory..." 😠
All right, we are all duly impressed but if you didn't start that fire, who did?
Funny thing is that Turner is my last name
This scene proves that a high school student doesn't have to write down a quantum mechanics formula to be brilliant. He can do it simply by applying a highschool formula.
True.
Okay, but the sound of him writing on the chalkboard is so satisfying
"You mind telling me if you did not start that fire who did?"
My money's on Billy Joel.
"We didn't start the fire
It was always burning, since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No, we didn't light it, but we tried to fight it"
That was actually one answer to a question about fire alarm systems where I retired from.
Ryan started the fire.
@@spaceflight1019 Now that’s what I call a sense of humor. 😂
Everyone needs to watch this at least once in their lifetime, great movie
Prodigenous!
nope thats fuking easy
In the room? That's the humor right? Ahaha I laughed at that part.
It means no worries, for the rest of your days!..
Its our problem-free, philosophy,
Prodigenious
Prodigenious..
My godfather’s dad was the man in the coal mine that encouraged homer.
Ah you must be Stuart
Cool!
LOL, well you're, like, 3 degrees of separation from an extra.
Schools need more teachers like this who are willing to accept their mistakes.
Are you currently in school?
All due respect to Jack Twist, Homer Hickam is Jake Gyllenhaal's best role!
1:09 when your friend is exposing the teacher
AT NASA we don't take chances we double on everything.
Has only one plan
@Anthony M good will hunting
except tht time you used square filters in the command module and round filters in the Lunar Module.
Is that what they said when Apollo 13 happened? That NASA took into consideration something like that could've happened and when it did happen everyone was ready for that?
I understood that reference
“Road Runner Thrust Move”
Except for O-rings, and ice shedding.
I borrowed this movie from our public library. Now I want it on DVD.
"Pre-DIGINOUS!!!!" LOL! LOVE IT!
Principle definitely redeemed himself in this scene. Even gave homer his due after explaining the math behind the rocket location, instead of brushing it off and not believing it.
He was a nice principal.
PRINCIPAL GETTING SCHOOLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At least he was nice about it . I’ve known teachers to be asses when getting called out .
Homer came a long way... From a small mining town to working for Stark Industry
Yep...but after that he screwed up everything when he thought he could outsmart Peter Parker.
I don't know about you guys but... I bawled my eyes out when Homers dad came to that last launch
One of the best movie......I cried many times
This movie changed my life.
If you are ever feeling down....watch this movie and you cannot help but feel great after it ends.
I LOVE this movie. It's my favorite with Jake Gyllenhaal.
How come they didn't bring up that flare as evidence before?
They did in the book and Quentin was the one to say that it was a part to an airplane
Dan's House Republicans
also where'd they find the flare? homer and quintin weren't looking for anything else so who found it? other than a police officer who may have found it, why'd he bring it in? feels more like plot convenience than anything else.
Dan's House they found the flare after this scene using the equation Homer schooled the older gentleman. This is edited to get to the point.
Lol
This was such a good movie and book, and even more incredible that it was based on real events. The ending made me tear up.
been in love with jake ever since this movie lol
his smile is too beautiful to resist
i love ur pfp
tnx. long live kurt and nirvana
"That isn't a rocket at all, it's an aeronautical flair" soooo....a mini-rocket?
I just love how the current generation looks back at history through the lens of today, and can't realize how distorted that makes the picture - - whether that be the 'basic math any high-schooler would know' or 'the common understanding of social equality' - - They never stop to consider that the norms of the world were not always what they are today
I remember watching parts of this movie as a kid, but could never find it again. Holy cow, never did I think that this would come through my feed and bring back so many memories.
Gyllenhaal: Are you with me so far?
Admiral Holdo: I've delt with plenty of trigger happy fly boys like you.
...
Ooohhh, flying mileage...not so "Jurassic".
Still hands down one of the best movies.
They didn’t seem fit to inspect the flare that started the rocket BEFORE expelling him?
Actually it wasn't the fire that caused homer to leave school. the reason why Homer left school is because there was a big accident in the mine and his dad was in the hospital and the insurance would not pay for everything so Homer left school so that the family could have money to survive while his dad recovered from the accident.
0:56 Jesse eventually dropped out due to ADD and began working on cars. He then joined Dominic Toretto’s crew.
When I found out Homer was a young Jake Gallenhaal, I was like 😮
Prodiginous. Best line in any movie ever🤣
Homer Hickam is the Mr. Miyagi of Rocket Science
And proving principals wrong for false accusations
If you haven’t watched this movie, I HIGHLY Recommend it.
In the book, Quinton is actually the one to find out it's a flair, from reading a book on aeronautics a week before. He is also the one the one to point out the airport on the map. no mention of Homer giving the principal a math lesson is in the book. The book does this story way more Justice and gives more appreciation. Kinda of a long read. But very worth it.
Totally forgot jake was in this. Had to watch this and now I’m blown away
My god Jake looks so young in this movie compared to movies now like Spiderman Far from home, crazy how long he's been in the industry and is STILL making successful movies
Chris Ellis is a very underrated actor!
I remember identifying with Homer in this movie. I was about the same age. I never did do anything as cool as he did though. I just went through a whole lot of years of schooling to be a pretty regular guy :)
One of my fav movies. Such a feel good movie
Homer Blinded MR. Turner with Science.
Still one of the best movie's I've ever seen
this is the moment i feel in love with Jake
Ditto!
1:43 Oh boy, teachers hate it when they’re proven wrong. 😂 Kudos for owning it.
You can't be an expert in rocket science without having a complete grasp of trigonometry to begin with.
Bumper and Donald Gettn it gettn it 😂
What's interesting is that Homer - the non-technical coal miner's son - is the only one of his friends who ended up working in the aerospace industry. Good movie.
Such a great move, very underrated.
Ironically I enjoy when my student correct me or can prove me wrong, tells me they are paying attention and fact checking. Wish my kids teachers felt the same way, their egos are something else.
Maybe your kids are just wrong. That happens a lot too, where a kid is wrong and the teacher is right but the kid doesn't want to admit it so they keep arguing.
October Sky is a truly wonderful movie
Absolutely love this movie.
The best part about these clips is dude starting off arrogant, then accepting he’s wrong and doing the right thing. A great movie.
Lmao, air resistence is neglected
True.
@@citizencj3389 its funny how no one is picking on this.
I doubt most people have the aeronautical background to be aware of that, much less comprehend it.
@@robertswitzer990 yeah true, but this is high school physics.

@@imnotyourfriendbuddy1883 HAHAHA
We all need a teacher like Miss Riley…
She encouraged her students to be the best they could instead of being good enough…
I'm watching this in science class and this was like the coolest thing in the world
Just shows
Find a kid’s interest and they can learn anything
I didn't learn math in the coal mine, but it paid for the college classes where I did learn math.
Watched this in science class. The most interesting thing I have ever seen in science. I loved this movie.
My teacher in middle school showed us this movie when we were working on making bottle rockets.
Bro same except today
My middle school science teachers made the class watch this every year. Fricking used to love this movie.
The thing that always pissed me off about this scene is when Mr. Turner says well if you didn't start that fire who did. I'd be like bitch i don't give a fuck who started that fire and it ain't my job to find out. I can prove with math it wasn't me. So fuck off....
But maybe i'm not as nice as Homer.
@1:08 my nerdy heart 😂
His angry voice makes me feel yelled at
2:08 look at quentin
i was watching this at school and in the beginning i was like
" OMG thats Jessie from Fast and Furious!!!"
Lol
Every month of October in this movie Jake Gyllenhaal realize that He has never been an Academy Award Winner before and I’ve got to keep my head in the game?
Yes, but he demonstrated that the rocket only reached an altitude of 1.5 miles, which even without math, anyone would know means it could never land any greater distance than that from the launch site.
The fire was three miles away.
End of story.
yep. He didn't need a precise proof. All he needed was a repeatable estimate.
That's what the nerds aren't getting. He wasn't trying for a mathematical proof, he was trying for a *rhetorical* proof, and in a rhetorical argument, estimates like this are fine as long as they establish your point in no uncertain terms. This oversimplified model established Homer's point beyond a reasonable doubt, whether or not it adheres to scientific rigor.
Not necessarily. Depends on wind speed and direction.
David Edwards And angle of the launch.
He didn't demonstrate it reached 1.5 miles, he asserted it without proof. He could have easily said 500meters with equal credibility
In 2020 the average person would not know something like this. It seems easy and simple to you, and it is, but the average joe would have no clue if you asked him
Wonderful example of staff experience vs the students' exuberance. Nobody looks bad, everyone's careful and right.
this is my favorite donnie darko scene
