added: Sun, Aug 14th '16

Oscar-winner Octavia Spencer, Golden Globe-winner Taraji P. Henson, and R&B singer Janelle Monae star as three trailblazing African-American mathematicians who are hired to work for NASA during the early days of the U.S. space program in the debut trailer for the based-on-a-true-story drama "Hidden Figures."

The 1960s-set film -- which also stars Kevin Costner, Kirsten Dunst, Big Bang Theory's Jim Parsons, and Everybody Wants Some's Glen Powell, who portrays legendary astronaut John Glenn -- is based on Margot Lee Shetterly's best-selling non-fiction book, about the remarkable true story of the brilliant African-American women at NASA who came up with the calculations that helped launch the first American astronauts into orbit.

Helmed by "St. Vincent" writer-director Theodore Melfi and co-starring Mahershala Ali (House of Cards) and Aldis Hodge (Straight Outta Compton), "Hidden Figures" is set to land in theaters January 6, 2017.

HIDDEN FIGURES is the incredible untold story of Katherine G. Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monae) -- brilliant African-American women working at NASA, who served as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in history: the launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit, a stunning achievement that restored the nation’s confidence, turned around the Space Race, and galvanized the world. The visionary trio crossed all gender and race lines to inspire generations to dream big.
