Frank Corvin, ‘Hawk’ Hawkins, Jerry O'Neill and ‘Tank’ Sullivan were hotdog members of Project Daedalus, the Air Force's test program for space travel, but their hopes were dashed in 1958 with the formation of NASA and the use of trained chimps. They blackmail their way into orbit when Russia's mysterious ‘Ikon’ communications satellite's orbit begins to degrade and threatens to crash to Earth.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A surprisingly sentimental space adventure that trades weightlessness for the weight of unfulfilled dreams. Four aging ex-pilots get one last shot at the stars, and the film savors both the thrills of spaceflight and the bittersweet realization that some opportunities don't come twice.
