Karen Allen, famous for her role in Raiders of the Lost Ark, plays Christa McAuliffe in Challenger, based on the tragic Space Shuttle Challenger disaster in 1986, and Barry Bostwick, who later played the Mayor of New York City in Spin City, plays Commander Francis R. Scobee. Keone Young plays Lt. Colonel Ellison Onizuka, and it's very tragic seeing what could have been if the launch had been delayed, but we see the pressures on the administrators to get things done. I remember the final scene of this movie, where the crew hold hands as they soar the heights, reaching for the stars with bravery.
