In 1958, Team Daedalus, the elite U.S
Air Force test pilot team was training to become the first Americans in space. But at the
eleventh hour, NASA grounded the mission, sending a chimpanzee into space instead. Team
Daedalus was forgotten to history. Until now…
NASA has received a distress call
from the Russian space control – a giant Soviet era satellite is threatening to crash
to earth resulting in a global communication blackout…
Only one team of astronauts is
familiar with the outmoded technology of the ‘Sputnik’ and competent enough to
carry out the dangerous mission.
Team Daedalus Commander, Frank Corvin
(Eastwood), and his crack crew of Hawkins (Jones), O’Neil (Sutherland) and Sullivan
(Garner) are about to get their mission to space – even if it is over 40 years too
late.
SPACE COWBOYS on DVD is rated
PG with a running time of 125 minutes approximately. SPACE COWBOYS is also
available to rent on DVD and video.
In 2001, Roadshow Home Entertainment
will continue to deliver fresh and exciting DVD titles including BRING IT ON, THE MAIN
EVENT and GET CARTER. |
