If you loved The Eiger Sanction, try Space Cowboys
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 Clint Eastwood, and they sit in Action / Adventure territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Eiger Sanction, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Space Cowboys is
Florida scrubland, 1958, the cramped nose-cone of a decommissioned rocket. Four silver-haired pilots who once dreamed of Mars now flip burgers at a trailer park. A rogue Russian bird starts plummeting through Kansas cornfields. Eastwood’s geriatric quartet grins, throttles up, and discovers NASA forgot the manual on late-life courage.
