When Sputnik,the world's first space satellite, flies over the small mining town of Coalwood, West Virginia in 1957,14 year-old Sonny Hickam makes a decision: to build a rocket to rival the Russians.
With the help of high school friends Roy Lee, O'Dell,Sherman,Billy and Quentin (the brains of the outfit),plus an almost limitless lack of knowledge,Sonny forms the Big Creek Missile Agency.
