When i worked at NASA, I would often sponsor a large group of engineers to take an afternoon off and go see the latest SciFi thriller (or Science Thriller)... Apollo 13, Men in Black, Independence Day...

I would buy a few dozen tickets ($5 for the afternoon matinee) and hand them out to everyone who could go.

It was good team building.

If I was still there (given that my group had some responsibility for changing Space Shuttle flight characteristics for the return to flight after Challenger) THIS movie would rate an "all hands" afternoon off to go see it. Get to see how it was done before and during the early computer age.
