Astronaut (2019)
Sein ganzes Leben lang hat der pensionierte Straßenbauingenieur Angus Stewart davon geträumt, als Astronaut ins All zu fliegen. Nun, mit 75 Jahren, rückt die Erfüllung seiner Sehnsucht plötzlich noch einmal in greifbare Nähe: Im ersten kommerziellen Weltraumflug des visionären Selfmade-Milliardärs Marcus Brown soll der letzte Platz über eine Fernsehlotterie vergeben werden. Mithilfe kleiner Tricks und seines Enkels Barney Williams kommt er tatsächlich als ältester Bewerber in die Vorauswahl um das begehrte Freiflugticket. Doch nicht nur sein Gesundheitszustand macht Angus zu schaffen, kurz vor dem Launch entdeckt er eine gefährliche Schwachstelle in Marcus' Raumfahrtprojekt. So beginnt ein Wettlauf gegen die Zeit, in dem nicht nur Angus' Flug zu den Sternen auf dem Spiel steht...
