Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMartin Sheen and Christian Slater, co-stars of this film, both went on to appear in The West Wing. Sheen played President Josiah Bartlett for all 7 seasons. Slater appeared in 3 episodes in Season 4 as Lt. Cmdr Jack Reese. They did not share any screentime.
- GoofsAn early scene shows Laurie driving Eric from Portland, Oregon, to Cedar Bay, Oregon. They cross a major waterway on a 3-lane suspension bridge. The only waterway that big near Portland is the Columbia River; if you cross it you are in Washington, and the only bridges are Interstate highway bridges with more than 3 lanes. (It's actually the Lions Gate Bridge in Vancouver.)
- Crazy credits(Closing quote) "In honor of their heroic deeds and the sacrifices they made so that all of humanity might someday walk among the stars."
- ConnectionsReferenced in Taken (2002)
Featured review
This is a must see!All his life Eric(played by the magnificent Slater)wants to become a real astronaut,but when a freak accident at school happens,Eric finds himself temporary suspended,his mum decides its an issue that his father has to discuss,so sends him on a flight.When he gets there,his father tries to talk him out of astronomy,but Eric learns that his hero(played by Martin Sheen)lives very close-by,he decides to ask questions,but Sheen is not interested,eventually they form a bond and Eric doesn't realise that he spends more time with Sheen than he does with his father,so this causes arguments amongst the family,this film is definitely worth watching,hence the reason i gave it 8/10.
