The story

The film portrays von Braun's progression from boyhood, through his missile work in Nazi Germany, to his later missile development for the U.S. Army, ending with the first successful launch of an American space satellite. It begins in the early 1920s with a juvenile von Braun wrecking a neighbour's greenhouse with a wayward rocket launch, prefiguring his future wartime destruction.
