The movie tells the story of the astronauts, crew, and civilians involved in the ill-fated January 28, 1986 flight of the space shuttle Challenger, which tragically exploded just 73 seconds after liftoff. At its core, the film explores the safety inspections and heated debates surrounding the use of o-rings, which ultimately led to the disaster. The film's authenticity is enhanced by being shot on location at the Johnson Space Center in Texas.
