Description:
Roy Fleming, a man from a small town, learns his father enrolled him in a space program, a prospect that terrifies him due to his fear of heights. Arriving in Houston, he discovers he's not an astronaut, but a janitor. Determined to please his father, Roy pretends to be involved in the space program. When NASA selects an ordinary person to test a new automated spacecraft, Roy gets a chance to confront his phobia and prove himself beyond his assigned role. The film examines self-discovery, overcoming personal obstacles, and navigating family dynamics and societal pressures.
