Movie Info

This oddly technical drama about three test pilots for the X-15 devotes a great deal of time to scientific explanations and militarese, leaving slightly less time to examine the personal lives and motivations of the three pilots. The head honcho among the pilots is Lt. Col. Lee Brandon (Charles Bronson in a good performance), and Mary Tyler Moore makes her first feature-length film appearance as one of the Air Force wives who are in the background of their husbands' careers.

Audience Reviews for X-15

Historically inaccurate portrayal of the first test pilots to reach the edge of space; the film's redeeming quality is that its combination of human drama and aerospace technicalities, influenced both Apollo 13 and The Right Stuff.

5.5/10. Interesting from the aspect of the X-15, the angle of the wives at home and the personal life of the pilots is quite hokey and not necessary. It should have left the personal drama out. It makes for a peculiar mix of genre's. Notable for very early performances from Mary Tyler Moore and Charles Bronson.
