Description
|
|
|
|
A post–space age fable about the importance of dreams and family, this 2006 film tracks the efforts of ranch owner and former aeronautics engineer Charlie Farmer (Billy Bob Thornton) to blast himself into Earth orbit aboard a homemade rocket ship he has built in his barn. Though deep in debt and threatened with foreclosure, Charlie has the full support of his flight crew (wife Virginia Madsen and three young children) and the admiring townsfolk of Story, Texas. Bruce Dern costars as Charlie's dad, and Bruce Willis makes an uncredited appearance as a sympathetic Air Force colonel.
