落ち目になった元スター歌手のバッドが、シングル・マザーの女性記者とその息子と出会う。彼らと触れ合ううち、バッドの心に希望が湧き上がっていく。落ちぶれ男の再生をジェフ・ブリッジス主演で描いた感動作。

Texan Charles Farmer left the Air Force as a young man to save the family ranch when his dad died. Like most American ranchers, he owes his bank. Unlike most, he's an astrophysicist with a rocket in his barn - one he's built and wants to take into space. It's his dream. The FBI puts him under surveillance when he tries to buy rocket fuel, and the FAA stalls him when he files a flight plan – but Charles is undeterred.

Two brothers who hate themselves are going to spend Christmas with their mother. She tries to get them together.
