October Sky	comment	October Sky is a 1999 film directed by Joe Johnston, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Laura Dern, and Chris Cooper. It was adapted from Homer Hickam Jr.'s autobiography Rocket Boys.Set in 1957, the film follows young Homer (Gyllenhaal) in the mining town of Coalwood, West Virgina, where almost every man works in the mine. After seeing the Sputnik satellite pass over the town while in orbit, Homer becomes inspired to seek a career in rocketry, and leave the town for a new life. He plans to showcase his homemade rockets at the local science fair, though the townsfolk believe he has no chance of succeeding.Despite this, Homer teams up with the school geek and fellow rocket enthusiast Quentin Wilson (Chris Owen), and recruits two of his friends into helping him. Though they fail at their first few attempts, they make several successful launches after experimenting with the fuel and rocket design. However, they run into problems with the law when it is believed that one of their rockets landed astray and caused a nearby forest fire, causing them to be disqualified from the science fair. As if this weren't bad enough, Homer's father John (Cooper) is injured in a mining accident, and now Homer must leave school and take up the work in order to support the family, leaving him with no time to help prove that the forest fire was not their fault.However, the boys' science teacher Ms. Riley (Dern) has a firm belief in what they're doing, and gives Homer a book on rocket science, from which Homer teaches himself how to calculate a rocket's trajectory, allowing him to find their own rocket and prove the group's innocence.They enter their rockets in the local science fair and win first place, allowing them to move on to national science fair in Indianapolis. Only Homer attends, because of the school's limited funding. Their display wins there as well with flying colors, as Homer receives countless scholarship offers before returning to Coalwood as a hero.

October Sky / int_1fb947b6	comment	Just Train Wrong: The locomotive in the movie belongs to the Norfolk and Western Railroad, but it's real-life counterpart is actually Southern Railway 4501, the N&W never having owned the 2-8-2 wheel arrangement.note Though the selection of actual N&W engines at the time didn't give the filmmakers much choice. Of the 14 engines left, stalwart 4-8-4 #611 and mighty 2-6-6-4 #1218 had been retired only recently, and the former wouldn't see service until 2015. 4-8-0 #475, which is still in operation, was likely too far to move given it was based out of Pennsylvania's Strasburg Railroad, nowhere near the Tennessee filming area that native 4501 hails from. The remaining engines would have been too expensive to restore, so 4501 was as reasonably close as they could get.

Frantically, they try to get the rail back in place, seemingly to no avail as the locomotive bears down on them... Then at the last moment, the train turns away down the main line; and the camera pulls back to reveal that the line they tore up was inactive.
