In the movie, October Sky, there was a boy named, Homer Hickam who was inspired when he saw Sputnik flying in space. He wanted more than anything to build a rocket that can go to space. Homer Hickam lived in a mining town where his dad wanted him to continue the family tradition of working in the mine. His father did not approve of his ambition of creating rockets. Homer and his friends found a deserted hill where they made and shot rockets. Many of their first rockets failed but eventually they got them to work correctly. His town was very proud of him and his sick teacher was very supportive. The police showed up at his school one day and accused Homer and his friends of starting a forest fire with a stray rocket. But using trigonometry or something he proved that the rocket could not have in fact started that fire. With encouragement from his teacher, him and his friends entered in a science fair and won. If they didn't win they probably wouldn't have made this movie so that was predictable. In the end his father accepted him which I knew would happen in the beginning of the movie because every movie is like that. This movie was inspiring because a boy froma poor town followed his draems and did something great.
