The Challenger 2013 123movies

Watch: The Challenger 2013 123movies, Full Movie Online – When Challenger disintegrated 73 seconds into its flight on the morning of 28 January 1986, it represented one of the most shocking events in the history of American spaceflight. A Presidential Commission was immediately convened to explore what had gone wrong, but with the vast complexity of the space shuttle and so many vested interests involved in the investigation, discovering the truth presented an almost impossible challenge. A truly independent member of the investigation was Richard Feynman. One of the most accomplished scientists of his generation, he worked on the Manhattan Project building the first atom bomb and won the Nobel Prize for his breakthroughs in quantum physics. Feynman deployed exceptional integrity, charm and relentless scientific logic to investigate the secrets of the Shuttle disaster and in doing so, helped make the US Space Programme safer..
Plot: When the space shuttle Challenger blew up in 1986, it was the most shocking event in the history of American spaceflight. The deaths of seven astronauts, including the first teacher in space Christa McAuliffe, were watched live on television by millions of viewers. But what was more shocking was that the cause of the disaster might never be uncovered. The Challenger is the story of how Richard Feynman, one of America’s most famous scientists, helped to discover the cause of a tragedy that stunned America.

Mesmerizing performance by William Hurt
Recent revelations of the Lyndon Johnson taped conversations exposing the sabotage by Nixon of the Vietnam peace talks in 1968 had me reeling at the extent to which the pursuit of power and money causes politicians to cover up the facts, even if it costs lives.

Feynman was the critical independent factor which foiled such attempts when the Challenger exploded during take off in January 1986.

This factual account reveals Feynman was by chance adopted onto the investigative commission over the Challenger disaster at a time when he was critically ill. Unlike the rest of the commission members who had other agendas, Feynman approached the problem objectively and, through his popular demonstrations of physics for which he’d become famous, had the skill and passionate commitment to reveal the truth to the public. As he wrote in his report, ‘For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled’ Throughout this gripping drama you are taking the part of the underdog, frustrated at the increasing knowledge that the commission members, bar one or two, were driven by political agendas which meant the truth was trying to be covered up. Feynman represents the common man, and as such makes you part of the battle to foil the exasperating corruption.

William Hurt is magnificent playing Feynman, depicting non-conformist behaviour which is only tolerated because of his brilliance. I found his nuances of expression fascinating and wonderfully representative of how we, the public, would have reacted when faced with pompous authority attempting to control our behaviour. Brilliant stuff, and all the more telling because it is true.

The story of O
This is a drama-documentary that has been co produced by the BBC and they managed to attract a starry cast with Oscar winner William Hurt playing distinguished scientist Feynman and Bruce Greenwood continuing his mini run of playing nice guys as General Kutyna.

The drama is based on the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster of 1986 and the Presidential commission set up to investigate the accident.

There are various factions, some with their own self interests who wanted to hinder the investigation or put it down to human error.

The film had to summarise these investigations and sell it to the viewer in an easy to understand way. Feynman is the vehicle who was famous for making science accessible.

Hurt portrays Feynman as dogged but he was also very ill at the time of the investigations.

Kutyna gives him clues along the way. Eve Best who plays Sally Ride was rather sidelined. In real life she was more outspoken about the deficiencies of NASA when it came to safety.

It all came down to ‘O’ rings and how they reacted in sub zero temperatures. The reveal at a press conference was exactly how it happened in real life.

A good well acted drama but a little bit too neatly packaged to make it digestible for the viewing audience.
