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.
