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.
The Astronaut Farmer is a 2007 science fiction comedy-drama about a Texas rancher and astrophysicist who builds a homemade rocket in his barn and pursues his dream of spaceflight despite interference from the FBI and FAA. The film blends humor, heart, and adventure as it follows Charles Farmer's determined quest to launch into space while saving his family ranch. Released in February 2007, it offers an inspiring take on following your dreams against all odds.
