From the time he was a child, Charles Farmer (Billy Bob Thornton) had only one goal: to be an astronaut. Earning his degree in aerospace engineering and joining the Air Force as a pilot, Farmer was a natural for NASA's astronaut training program and was well on his way when a family situation forced him to drop out and return home — effectively ending his career.

But Farmer was not a man to let anything stand in the way of a dream.

He spent the next decade and every cent he had building his own rocket in a barn on his ranch in Story, Texas, working toward the day when he could triumphantly launch it into space - by himself.

Sharing his vision are his wife Audie (Virginia Madsen) and their children — daughters Sunshine and Stanley, and 15-year-old Shepard, already a budding engineer and eager to serve as "mission control" on the big day. Even Audie's father Hal (Bruce Dern), on hand to lend moral support, can see how his son-in-law's unwavering commitment has inspired the family with a common dream — something he himself, as a father, was never able to achieve.

In the spirit of Field of Dreams comes this heartwarming tale of triumph, captured beautifully in the lush, pastoral score by Grammy-winning songwriter / musician / producer Stewart Matthewman who has appeared on all five of Sade's albums.
