The Right Stuff is a 1983 American drama film that was adapted from Tom Wolfe's
best-selling 1979 book of the same name about the Navy, Marine and Air Force 
test pilots who were involved in aeronautical research at Edwards Air Force Base, 
California, as well as the seven military pilots who were selected to be the 
astronauts for ProjectMercury, the first attempt at manned spaceflight by the 
United States. The Right Stuff stars Ed Harris, Scott Glenn, Sam Shepard, 
Fred Ward, Dennis Quaid and Barbara Hershey. Levon Helm is the narrator in the 
introduction and elsewhere in the film, as well as having a co-starring role as 
Air Force test pilot Jack Ridley. In 2013 the film was selected for preservation 
in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being 
"culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant"
