ASTRONAUT belongs to the genre of old-fart films where the protagonist is a senior and has to come to terms with age and usually makes good, be it in romance or achieving ones final goal in life. Thankfully, it is the latter.
The protagonist is 75-year old widower Angus (Richard Dreyfuss) who lives with his daughter’s family. His son-in-law, Jim (Lyriq Bent) convinces the daughter, Molly (Krista Bridges) to move Angus into a retirement home. His life seems over; he feels worthless and alone. But Angus’s long extinguished dream is reignited when an exciting national competition is announced. The prize is one golden ticket for a trip to space!
