Everything You Need to Know About the True Story Behind ‘Hidden Figures’

7. The Film Messes With the Timeline a Bit

While most of the events that happen in Hidden Figures really did take place, the movie version of these women’s stories does swap around events in the timeline for dramatic effect. Perhaps the most dramatic shift though, is that the film makes it seem largely as though these women rose to the forefront of the NACA over the same period of time and the same course of events. That’s largely untrue, as each of the film’s major characters distinguished themselves in the eyes of the NACA in different years and on different projects.
