Space Warriors (2013 film)

Space Warriors is a 2013 American film directed by Sean McNamara and starring Thomas Horn, Josh Lucas, and Danny Glover.

Jimmy Hawkins (Thomas Horn) is a young boy who dreams of becoming an astronaut, just like his father, Andy (Dermot Mulroney).

His dream comes true when he wins a scholarship to Space Camp led by Commander Philips (Danny Glover) given by Col. Roy Manley (Josh Lucas).

However, Jimmy's mother, Sally (Mira Sorvino), refuses because of an incident at NASA, when Andy was fired over a big fight.

Jimmy fakes a voice recorder to make it sound like his father has let him go to space camp, then lies to his mother that he is going on a fishing trip with Andy.

The group includes Rusty (Grayson Russell) the mechanic, Bao Yuen (Michael Zhang) the rocket scientist, Dani (Savannah Jayde) the robotic engineer, Sergi (Nicholas Lobue) the computer whiz, and Lacey Myers (Ryan Simpkins) the pilot.

Together, they compete against the Titans, led by Hunter (Thomas Kasp), the winning team to go up to the space station the following year.

Things are going well for the Warriors as they are in second place until Col. Manley is told about Lacey's lie about her age, which has her expelled from Space Camp.
