If you loved Hot Bot, try The Astronaut Farmer

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Michael Polish, and they sit in Comedy / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Hot Bot, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Astronaut Farmer is

Texan Charles Farmer trades Air Force life and astrophysics studies for family ranch survival only to ignore the math and build a barn-launched rocket. The FBI and FAA circle like coyotes while a dream with no launch window ignites. A love letter to DIY that crashes into reality.
