October Sky October Sky? tells the story of four boys in a poverty-stricken corner of Appalachia who are determined to build their own rocket, and help get America back in the ?space race.'' It's seen through the eyes of their leader, young Homer Hickham, who sees the speck of light of the ?Sputnik? in the sky and starts reading the science fiction of Jules Verne. Homer is a good student, but math and science are his weak points. He knows he needs help, and breaks all of the rules in the school lunchroom by approaching the class brain, an outcast named Quentin for reaching his goal.
