Your mission served your country. It served to remind us all of our proud heritage of a nation. To remind us that in this stage of technicians and scientific marvels that the individual still counts. That in a crisis, the character of a man or men , will make the difference. Adversity brings out the character of a man. Confronted suddenly and unexpectedly with grave peril in the far reaches of space, he demonstrated a calm courage and quiet heroism that stands as an example to men everywhere. This safe return is a triumph of the human spirit of those special qualities of man himself we rely on when machines fail. And we rely on also for those things that machines cannot do.

The Americanism in the film is fully realized. The addition of Tom Hanks is also a major attraction. Recommended-level movies.
