In the film, Billy Bob Thornton plays a NASA astronaut who is forced to retire to save the family farm. The decision means that he will never realize his dream of going into space. He then decides to build his own rocket on the farm, and the government begins to think of him as a threat.
In addition to Thornton, The Astronaut Farmer also stars Virginia Madsen, Bruce Dern and Tim Blake Nelson.
