The Rocket Boys The movie October Sky is a story about a young man named Homer Hickam who has ambitions to work in the space program. His goal is difficult to obtain because the town he lives in is a coal-mining town where all the men are expected to be coal miners. Homer builds a rocket to enter in a science fair so that he can get a college scholarship and finally leave his hometown. Homer’s father is reluctant to help him achieve his goals. His father has the mentality that dreams are impossible to obtain, and he does not want to lose Homer “to the outside world.” Homer must overcome the conflicts with his setting and conflicts with his family and townspeople.
