There are two main problems with this movie: editing, and the director's attempt to use bickering engineers as the primary source of drama. In the beginning of the movie, the film cuts back and forth between two sets of lawyers that occurs long after the disaster. This is a bit confusing; unnecessarily so. Then we move to an argument of engineers at Morton Thiokol -- pre-disaster. There isn't any good reason for not relating this story chronologically or at least not flipping around indiscriminately. Secondly, the true story has plenty of drama without trying to artificially create drama by having the engineers engaging in an angry, disrespectful argument, which was apparently grossly exaggerated from what really happened.

I can't imagine the battle these guys went through!! Very interesting perspective on the tragic disaster and the struggle to do the right thing. These men were as brave as those astronauts who boarded the Challenger on Jan 28th. Sad to think if they would've waited one day we might still have a NASA shuttle program today.

Loved the idea of presenting the story from the engineers perspective, but the writing, directing and acting are all sadly overacted (or underacted in some cases) and the focus at times was strange without moving the story forward. The incessant yelling behind the scenes by the contracted engineers was endless without moving forward. It's sad that the low budget made this movie miss the mark.
