The Astronaut Farmer (2007)
The Astronaut Farmer is a 2007 science fiction movie directed by Michael Polish, with a running time of 1h 44m. It stars Billy Bob Thornton, Virginia Madsen and Max Thieriot.
Texan Charles Farmer left the Air Force as a young man to save the family ranch when his dad died. Like most American ranchers, he owes his bank. Unlike most, he's an astrophysicist with a rocket in his barn - one he's built and wants to take into space. It's his dream. The FBI puts him under surveillance when he tries to buy rocket fuel, and the FAA stalls him when he files a flight plan, but Charles is undeterred.
