The Reluctant Astronaut background

The Reluctant Astronaut

A humble janitor at NASA receives an unexpected opportunity to venture into the vastness of space, forever changing his life's trajectory.

In this comedy, Roy Fleming, a small-town amusement park worker, is terrified of heights. When he discovers his father has signed him up for the space program, Roy reluctantly heads to Houston, only to find out he's been assigned to clean toilets, not blast off into space. To impress his family and friends, Roy pretends to be an astronaut, but when NASA chooses an ordinary person to test a new spacecraft, Roy gets the chance to face his fears and prove himself.
