SPACE COWBOYS (2000) |

MORGAN'S RATING |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
| They trained body and mind for America's leap into space. When the moment came, the brash flyboys of Team Daedalus were replaced. Now, 40 years later, another moment has come. And this time, it's all theirs. Four old-school test pilots whose grasp of outdated technology make them the only ones able to repair a primitive, deorbiting Russian satellite that imperils Earth. With an irresistible load of heart, humor and heroics, Space Cowboys is all-systems-go. |
