Set against the backdrop of the 1960s Space Race, Hidden Figures tells the remarkable true story of three African-American women—Katherine Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer), and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe)—whose mathematical brilliance was crucial to NASA’s mission of sending John Glenn into orbit.
Despite their invaluable contributions, the trio faces systemic racial and gender discrimination, battling prejudice both inside and outside the walls of NASA. Through resilience, intelligence, and unwavering determination, they challenge societal barriers and forever change the course of American history.
Hidden Figures is an inspiring tribute to unsung heroes, celebrating the power of perseverance, courage, and the unbreakable human spirit.
