The 1999 American biographical film "October Sky" tells the story of
Homer H. Hickam Jr. His interest in his future career was ignited by an
event from the late 1950s—an event that seemed almost miraculous at
the time—which led him to pursue a path that made him a key figure
within a renowned scientific agency.

Originally, the film was titled X ( 2 words). However, Universal Studios'
marketing team recommended a title change, believing that women
over thirty would be less inclined to watch a movie called X.
A recent piece of Indian media focusing on the story of two young men
was released recently with the title X, who were also involved with a
different scientific organization.
