Synopsis

Four top fighter pilots, now retired, are brought back into service to assist NASA during a major satellite crisis. Although their cocky, nonconformist attitudes kept the quartet out of the space program in the 1960s, their specialized knowledge about the workings of a damaged satellite unexpectedly enables them, late in their lives, to get another chance to go into space - if they can pass the same physical and skill tests as the younger astronauts.

If there's no real stand-out moments, its at least a relief to find that its nowhere near as sacharine as it could have been in the hands of, say, Ron Howard, or a latter-day Spielberg. Pretty solid on the whole...
