overview
What is The Astronaut Farmer about?
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. It blends science fiction, adventure, comedy elements. The film reflects a distinct United States of America style and perspective. The story is brought to life by director Michael Polish. With a runtime of 1h 44m, it offers a comfortable feature-length experience.
