WHAT:   Dismissed from NASA's space program, former
        astronaut-in-training Charles Farmer (Billy Bob Thornton)
        pursues his lifelong dream by building his own rocket, in the
        Polish Brothers' family film "The Astronaut Farmer." On the
        eve of his launch, Farmer must battle foreclosure on his ranch
        and a small-town community of disbelievers, while
        simultaneously drawing heavy scrutiny and surveillance from
        the FBI, CIA, FAA and the U.S. military, all of which see him
        as a potential risk to civilian safety and will take the
        necessary steps to shut down his operation. But he remains
        determined to reach his goal and instill in his children the
        courage to pursue their own dreams, no matter the odds.
