October Sky (1999)

Revealing mistake: When Homer placed the rocket on his fence and lit it his friend asked "Should we get behind somethin'?" That's when the rocket explodes. When you see them fly back you don't need to slow motion it because you can clearly see the wires attached to their backs.

Homer: You know, it, uh, won't fly unless somebody pushes the button. It's yours, if you want it.

Trivia: The title "October Sky" is an anagram of "Rocket Boys," the book on which the movie is based.
