The film's original release date of January 13, 2017 also was moved up with a limited release on December 25 followed by a wide release on January 6.

The trailer opened with Mary, Dorothy and Katherine stranded on the side of the road as a police car approached with siren on.

A white police officer asked Katherine if they had identification and she produced her NASA badge.

'NASA! I had no idea they hired...,' the state patrolman said shaking his head and looking up at Mary.

'There are quite a few women working in the space program,' interjected Dorothy.

The officer then gave the ladies an escort.

'Three Negro women are chasing a white police officer down the highway in 1961. That is a God-ordained miracle,' Mary said while driving behind the officer.

Kevin Costner was then seen as Al Harrison, director of NASA's Space Task Group, talking of the program's goal to launch a human into space.

Space race: The race was on for the US to put a man in orbit to keep up with the Russians

Kirsten Dunst as an administrator told Dorothy that Space Task Group 'needs a computer'.

'Katherine is the gal for that,' Dorothy responded as math wiz Katherine was seen working on calculations.

Jim Parsons was then seen as fictional NASA engineer Paul Stafford who seemed skeptical of Katherine's abilities and hostile toward her.

Tense conversation: Katherine was kept out of a meeting by Paul due to her gender

Katherine after being shut out of a meeting confronted Paul who informed her there was no protocol for women attending.

'There's no protocol for a man circling the Earth either, sir,' Katherine responded.

Mary also grew frustrated with the gender and racial hurdles placed before them.

Speaking up: The other women rallied around Mary in a sign of unity

'Every time we have a chance to move ahead, they move the finish line. Every time,' Mary said.

As more than a dozen black women stood in a hallway, Al knocked down a Colored Ladies Room sign as a white officer and colleagues watched from the other side.

'We all get there together, or we don't get there at all,' Al said.

The ladies were also shown meeting astronaut John Glenn, portayed by 28-year-old Glen Powell.

The movie depicts the historic 1962 Project Mercury flight in which he became the first US astronaut to orbit the Eath.

Katherine was called to communicate with the astronaut after a warning light went off inside Friendship 7 during his descent and he warned that things were 'heating up'.
