Wow.
That is really Big Steps Home Fast.

Or: How do I tell a film that Hollywood normally takes 2.5 hours to make in 15 minutes?

Who is allowed? Oh, the other one. To compress.
Shot of a rocket plane. Next shot, it's hovering beneath the B-52.
Up. Boom. Dead*. And buried.
On to the protagonist.
Girlfriend is not happy.
Then some slower shots leading up to the new launch with some slow helicopter flights.
Climbing in, exciting, up, a little rudder control. Panic on the ground, even higher, more rudder control, thankfully: down again.
Landing, with all vehicles driving just in front of the landing aircraft.
The general congratulates, the woman is happy. The world is happy.

The CGI is "not optimal." The sound is good.

If you're a nerd: just watch it. It's only fifteen minutes long.
As a film lover: difficult. Perhaps even painful.


*This isn't really a spoiler, because it's historical. And you can see it coming.
And yet, factually incorrect. Because it is the X-15 3 whose pilot is killed.
