Three female African-American mathematicians play a pivotal role in astronaut John Glenn’s launch into orbit. Meanwhile, they also have to deal with racial and gender discrimination at work.

Hidden Figures had a budget of 25 million USD, making it a low to medium budget Hollywood film. It was nominated for many awards and won 11 awards including: BET Award for Best Movie, MTV Movie Award for Best Hero and Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture. IMDb gave it a 7.8/10, on Rotten Tomatoes it was rated 93% and Metacritic gave it 74%. It was the highest-grossing Best Picture nominee at the 89th Academy Awards and it was one of the top twenty most profitable release of 2016.  Deadline Hollywood calculated the net profit of the film to be 95.55 million USD. I feel that all of these facts prove that this film was very successful and thoroughly enjoyed by multiple audiences globally.
