As the United States raced against Russia to put a man in space, NASA found untapped talent in a group of African American female mathematicians that served as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in U.S. history. Based on the unbelievably true life stories of three of these women, known as “human computers,” Hidden Figures follows how they quickly rose the ranks of NASA, alongside many of history’s greatest minds, specifically tasked with calculating the momentous launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit and guaranteeing his safe return. Dorothy Vaughn, Mary Jackson, and Katherine Johnson crossed all gender, race, and professional lines while their brilliance and desire to dream big—beyond anything ever accomplished before by the human race—firmly cemented them in U.S. history as true American heroes.
Please Note: Patrons who make advanced reservations can pick up their tickets at the REACH Box Office on the day of the film beginning 1 hour prior to performance time. Patrons need to either print the email confirmation at home and present it to the REACH Box Office, or show the email confirmation at the REACH Box Office on their “smart device.” Tickets that have not been claimed by 15 minutes prior to the start of the film will be released and distributed to a stand-by line.
This is a first come-first serve event; a reservation confirmation does not guarantee you a ticket to the film. Please arrive early to exchange your email confirmation at the REACH Box Office for a ticket to be seated in the Justice Forum.
