THE CHALLENGER

THE CHALLENGER follows the true-life story of Christa McAuliffe, who was selected to be the first teacher in space, and the incredible journey she took from her classroom to becoming a member of the Space Shuttle Challenger crew that launched from Cape Canaveral on January 28, 1986. However, only 73 seconds after takeoff the unthinkable happened when the Challenger exploded, killing all astronauts on board and shocking a nation watching live on television. Despite the disaster, her memory and mission left a lasting impression and legacy on her family, community and teachers across the world and continues to inspire others through her willingness to take risks and touch others' lives through her strength and convictions.
