Starring Billy Bob Thornton, Virginia Madsen and Bruce Dern.

All Systems are “go” for Charles Farmer. He’s faced bank foreclosure, neighborhood naysayers and a government alarmed by his huge purchase of high-grade fuel, but now he is ready to blast into space with his homemade rocket he built in his barn.

Billy Bob Thornton portrays Charlie in this charmer about chasing dreams…and about what it means to be a family.

10,000 pounds of rocket fuel alone can’t lift Charlie into the heavens. He needs a launch/recovery crew, and he has one of the best: his wife and children, dreamers all. They have liftoff. Our spirits uplift. The Astronaut Farmer reminds us that gravity cannot hold down our dreams.
