The Astronaut Farmer
A sweetly quirky drama about an aspiring astronaut (Billy Bob Thornton) who was forced to give up NASA and his dreams of space travel to save the family farm. But for the last ten years Charlie's been building his own rocket in the barn, and now he's close to lift-off. All he needs is rocket fuel. Unfortunately when you start looking for that, the authorities come looking for you, and it turns out they're not keen on a civilian launching himself into space. The tried and true formula of the little guy with big dreams battling the odds; co-stars Virginia Madsen and Bruce Dern.
