Katherine Johnson , Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson are three African-American mathematician, who together with the car to work in the West Area Computing Unit at the Langley Research Center in Hampton ( Virginia drive), where they in the Department colored computer calculations for NASA to perform. Under computers are understood at that time people with mathematical talent that usually predetermined calculation steps with pen and paper or simple electromechanical calculators perform and thus, for example, engineers in their work.

Katherine is transferred to the Space Task Group , which develops the trajectories for a person's flight into space; A mathematician with knowledge of vector geometry is wanted there. Since there are no toilets for colored ladies in the building , she has to go to the building of her old place of work several times a day, which is far away. She is not allowed to take her coffee from the same pot as her colleagues. The employees there, all white and almost exclusively male, are very reserved. Paul Stafford in particular is not sympathetic to her, which is compounded by the fact that Divisional Manager Al Harrison instructs Katherine to review Stafford's calculations. She only gets documents from him with lots of blackened parts that are supposed to be secret data. Katherine holds the pages up to the light to read the data and can do important calculations. When Harrison finds out, she admits it and is even briefly suspected of being a spy. Still, Harrison has a more neutral attitude towards her than Stafford and increasingly respects her for her good, “beyond the numbers” work. Katherine's confidence is gradually growing. When Harrison notices the long daily absence of Katherine and he accuses her of this, she tells for the first time about the distant toilet and complains about the bad treatment and payment of blacks. Harrison then knocks off the sign on one of the toilets with his own hand; these should now be able to be used equally by all employees.

The humiliating defeat in the space race through the first space flights of the Soviet Union with an animal and a person on board is followed by the employees in the film room of the research facility. Harrison points out the historical significance of their work and pushes employees to do even more work. The first manned space flight in America with Alan Shepard is finally successful. Soon after that is mission in orbit by John Glenn prepared. The flight details change every day, and since Katherine learns about it too late due to her low security rating, many of her manual calculations are in vain. Katherine manages with gentle persistence that she is allowed to attend an important briefing , where she makes a great impression on Glenn in particular. It is particularly important to determine the coordinates for re-entry into the atmosphere. New formulas are to be found for this. When this fails, Katherine remembers the numerical Euler method with which she can successfully carry out the calculation. It also shows that the method is well suited for the newly emerging electronic data processing. In the meantime, an IBM mainframe computer is installed in the research center, which Dorothy gets up and running. When the IBM computer supplies contradicting figures shortly before the rocket is launched, Glenn asks the ground station to have Katherine check them; otherwise it won't start. Katherine quickly calculates the numbers manually and, thanks to Harrison's advocacy, can experience the flight for the first time in the control center. After a few orbits, a warning light suddenly signals that parts of the heat shield can come loose, so that a return to earth is ordered. When re-entering the earth's atmosphere, a ball of fire arises on the outer skin of the space capsule and the radio link is broken off; but after some anxiety everything goes well.

Katherine has three young daughters and her husband died early. Katherine's mother lives with them and takes care of the children while she is at work. Katherine is introduced to Jim Johnson, an officer and war returnees, who she initially refuses because he makes clumsy statements about her work as a woman. But he does not give up, and they eventually become a couple. Their children are delighted with Jim and prepare for the festive moment when he asked for Katherine's hand and gave her his mother's ring. Since Katherine has complained that her payment was not even enough for a "simple pearl necklace" allowed for her work clothes, she receives such a necklace as a gift from her colleagues.

Mary Jackson is transferred to a department that develops the space capsules . A colleague recommends that she work as an engineer because she thinks like one. She is applying for a corresponding position, but it turns out that additional training is required for this. However, there is no college in Virginia that offers one for African Americans. Although her husband is initially strictly against it, she is suing in court to be able to complete these courses with whites. By pointing out to the judge that he could make history with this decision, she leads him to rule in her favor.

Dorothy Vaughan is acting as a Supervisor of the Colored Computers due to a prolonged illness of the position holder, but her application for promotion is not approved. When she learns that a large computer has been delivered to her house, she realizes that it is endangering the jobs of "her" wives. She gets literature on the computer language Fortran , which she lets go undetected in the city library in the “white” section, and begins to train herself and her wives in the new knowledge. In addition, she secretly visits the location of the computer in the evening. She studies the machine's manuals, familiarizes herself with it and also notices a wrong connection, which is why the IBM commissioning team has not yet been able to get it up and running. When it finally turns out how well she has already mastered the device, the astonishment in the Space Task Group is great. Because of her IT skills, Dorothy is appointed supervisor of a new department that is supposed to feed the computer with data. But she only wants to accept the position if she is allowed to bring the women from her previous department with her, which is approved for her.

Historical background

Hidden Figures - Unrecognized Heroines takes place shortly before the Civil Rights Act by Lyndon B. Johnson , which in 1964 at least legally abolished the separation of blacks and whites. Even before this law was introduced, African Americans worked in the US in scientific research, civil service, and US agencies such as NASA.

The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) was a US government organization that dealt with basic research in aviation and a direct predecessor of what would later become NASA. Founded on March 3, 1915, it was supposed to coordinate innovations in aircraft and propulsion construction and put them on a scientific basis. The knowledge gained in this way was made available to the American aviation industry. When NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration , began its work on October 1, 1958, it took over the approximately 8,000 employees of the NACA. Thomas Keith Glennan was appointed NASA's first administrator . The black mathematicians employed there had a separate office from their white colleagues at that time due to the racial segregation practiced in the USA and could be "loaned" to other departments. Women (as a "computer in skirts" and blacks as "colored computers" refers to compute = English for expected ). In this male domain dominated by whites, it was twice as difficult for African American women.

The African American mathematician Dorothy Vaughan had earned her bachelor's degree at Wilberforce University in 1929 and then worked as a math teacher. She began working for the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics , NASA's predecessor organization, in 1943 and was one of the first black people to be employed in a scientific position in a group known as the West Area Computing Unit . All African American mathematicians were gathered there. Due to the race laws, however, she was not allowed to work with whites and carried out her research with her group isolated from the other units. She made aeronautical calculations under the job title "(human) computer". In 1958 Vaughan became head of her work unit as head computer. Vaughan died on November 10, 2008. Her colleague Mary Winston Jackson , who was also African American, worked in the same department from 1951. She died on February 11, 2005.

Katherine Johnson , who also worked in the department as an African American, began her scholarship at West Virginia College when she was 14. Your lecturer Dr. William W. Schieffelin Claytor offered her in her sophomore year to attend advanced courses in higher mathematics. She was the only student to take courses in analytical geometry and majored in mathematics.

Johnson also began her NASA career in 1953 with its predecessor organization. Their task there was to calculate data from wind tunnel experiments with the help of mathematical formulas and to display them graphically and to evaluate flight recorders. Here she worked with the first computer programs that had been written by NASA. After only two weeks, Johnson and a colleague came to the flight research department, which until then had consisted exclusively of white men, and took part in briefings that had previously only been men.

Johnson was initially housed with her colleagues in a windowless building, a far cry from the white, predominantly male scientists. Here they were the first to learn the machine code for operating the newly installed IBM computers, which was necessary for their programming. As a result, her tremendous talent was not ignored by NASA and Johnson was promoted. However, there were still separate toilets for African Americans, which meant that they had to walk 45 minutes to get there.

In 1959 she married Lieutenant Colonel James A. Johnson, a veteran from the Korean War. Johnson was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in late 2015 for her contributions to calculating trajectories for the Mercury program and the first manned flight to the moon as part of the Apollo 11 mission . Katherine Johnson died on February 24, 2020.

John Glenn , who had complete confidence in Johnson's calculations, later became a member of the Democratic Party in the United States Senate. Glenn died on December 8, 2016, just days before the film premiered, at the age of 95. Glen Powell , who played Glenn in the film, described the deserved astronaut after his death as a real gentleman who made one believe in the impossible. 20th Century Fox issued a statement on Glenn's death mourning his loss. Glenn was described as a great figure in American history and a man who not only pointed to the stars, but showed a way to get there. Even if you mourn your loss, celebrate all that he has made possible.

Many of those involved in the film, such as Taraji P. Henson , Janelle Monáe , Kevin Costner and also film composer Hans Zimmer , admitted that the three Afro-American NASA employees, their life stories and their contribution to making manned space travel possible before the film project began had been known. Octavia Spencer initially believed that Margot Lee Shetterly's story presented to them was fiction . In general, however, those involved also believed that the story of the mathematicians working in the background should have been completely unknown to most Americans. According to his own statements, Pharrell Williams first had to be informed by his mother that he had met Katherine Johnson a few years earlier at an event held by his non-profit organization From One Hand To AnOTHER , which she had attended with the astronaut Leland Devon Melvin .

Filming

Buildings on the campus of Morehouse College in Atlanta were used for exterior recordings by NASA

Filming began in Atlanta in early March 2016. Here, among other things, the film was shot at and in Morehouse College, a private men's college which at the time of racial segregation was only allowed to be attended by African-Americans. The buildings were used for exterior shots by NASA. A round-shaped student center located there also served as a template for the design of the space for the Space Task Group in the film. In Canton , further exterior shots were taken in front of the library there. Other locations were the city of East Point , near Atlanta , where Katherine Johnson's home is in the film, and Monroe, east of Atlanta, where recordings were made in the city center. Additional filming was made at a Lockheed Martin Aeronautics facility at Dobbins Air Reserve Base in Marietta . Recordings were made in the wind tunnel there.

The cost of producing the film is $ 25 million.

Film music

In April 2016 it was announced that Pharrell Williams would take over the musical production of the film and make the musical selections. For productions of this kind, Williams founded the creative company i am OTHER Entertainment in 2012 . Williams took on the design of the overall musical concept and the soundtrack for the film, which also contains several tracks written by Williams, such as the songs Crave , Runnin ' and Surrender, which were published in advance in October and November 2016. The soundtrack also includes songs by Lalah Hathaway , Kim Burrell , Alicia Keys , Mary J. Blige and Janelle Monáe , who can be seen in a leading role in the film. Williams composed the film music together with Hans Zimmer , with whom he already worked as part of The Magnificent Six for the soundtrack of the film The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Rise of Electro . Also was Benjamin Wallfisch involved in the work of film music. In December 2016, the soundtrack was included in the list of candidates (longlist) at the Academy Awards 2017 in the category Best Film Music , from which the members of the Academy selected the official nominations. The songs I See A Victory and Runnin ' on the soundtrack were included in the longlist for Best Movie Song . The soundtrack comprises a total of ten tracks and was released on December 9, 2016 by Columbia Records .

reception

Age rating

In Germany, the film was approved by the FSK without any age restriction. The statement of reasons for approval states: “The issues of racial segregation and civil rights are presented in a way that is easy to understand, and the film approaches its self-confident protagonists and their stories in a largely calm and very sensitive staging. Small children do not yet understand the historical setting and the political background, but there is no fear of overstrained emotions due to the restrained, family-friendly presentation. "

Reviews

The film was able to convince 93 percent of the Rotten Tomatoes critics and received an average rating of 7.6 out of a possible 10 points.

Catherine Shoard of The Guardian says that although it looks a little like the film is trying to ride the #OscarsSoWhite wave , its actual ambitions are much more modest because the film also wants to be very entertaining and a little educational, and at the same time also build a cheerful mood throughout.

Alonso Duralde of The Wrap says the film tells a feel-good story of heroines who are underrepresented in films, but because the three women have what it takes, so does the film.

Pete Hammond of Deadline.com speaks of an inspiring story that was not known to many people, but had to be told and was ultimately told through the film, which is cast with outstanding actors.

Patrick Heidmann from Spiegel Online says about the film: “Instead of becoming an instructive historical piece , it leaves a lot of room for humor. Nevertheless, he conveys a feeling for the time and its topics very precisely and with simple means: here an archive recording by Juri Gagarin , there a conversation at the dining table about the methods of the civil rights movement . ”Heidmann, a mainstream production for which a large studio is responsible, also notes in The focus of exclusively black women is unusual in Hollywood even in 2017 .

Nadine Lange from Zeit Online thinks that there is something uplifting about watching the three hidden- figure heroines on their way up, which is contextualized by the struggle of the civil rights movement that is taking place on the streets and in the churches at the same time.

Susanne Leinemann from Berliner Morgenpost says: “One would wish the film to win something at the Oscar this year too. Especially when you think of the anger the year before, when many black actors canceled their participation in the Academy Awards because they did not feel appreciated enough. "Leinemann says the film has what it takes to win a prize:" He has an attitude, he is entertaining and played excellently. And the US became a different country overnight. You are moving closer together - also black and white. "

Fabian Tietke from the daily newspaper analyzes: “In this comparison of the everyday work of the three women with the media images of physical violence, Melfi succeeds in creating a miniature about the impending relapse in those years before the introduction of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 , free access to elections and that Should mean the end of the racist structuring of everyday life. "

Gross profit

The film was released in selected US cinemas on December 25, 2016 and launched nationwide on January 6, 2017, after which it reached number 1 on the US cinema charts and stayed at the top for almost two weeks. The film has grossed around 169 million US dollars there so far. In New Zealand, too, the film landed at number 1 on the cinema charts after its launch. The worldwide box office result amounts to around 236 million US dollars. So far, the film has had 507,558 visitors in Germany (as of June 25, 2017).

Use in school lessons

In spring 2019, the film was presented as part of the SchulKinoWochen in Baden-Württemberg and North Rhine-Westphalia.
