Blue Sky is a 1994 film which tells the story of a soldier whose outspokenness & his wifes mental difficulties have made him a pariah to the army. The movie was adapted by Rama Laurie Stagner, Arlene Sarner & Jerry Leichtling from a story by Rama Laurie Stagner. It was directed by Tony Richardson. It stars Jessica Lange, Tommy Lee Jones, Powers Boothe, Carrie Snodgress, Amy Locane & Chris ODonnell. Jessica Lange won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in the film. The movie was completed in 1991, but due to a bankruptcy by the original studio, it sat on the shelf until 1994.

Jessica Lange deserves three cheers for her performance in Blue Sky as an army wife in the early 1960s. Sensuous & unpredictable, Lange bridles at the restrictions in her life & is constantly seeking attention. Tommy Lee Jones is the nuclear engineer who adores her, but is just as passionate toward his career. Lange & Jones sizzle in spite of a weak plot tangent concerning the military cover-up of nuclear testing in the Nevada desert. The love story is everything as it bursts with undercurrents of passion, regret, sorrow & joy. Langes sexy, high-strung performance earned her an Oscar. It was director Tony Richardsons last film.
