Tiffany “Rex” Simpson (Emma Roberts) has always dreamed of going to space, and her “doctored” application lands her in NASA’s ultra-competitive astronaut training program. In over her head, can this Florida girl rely on her quick wits, moxie and determination to get through training and into the cosmos before she blows her cover?
Dreaming of the stars since childhood, Tiffany “Rex” Simpson (Emma Roberts) finds her ambitions grounded by life’s detours. But with her best friend Nadine (Poppy Liu) by her side, Rex sets her sights high – on NASA’s astronaut training program!
Fueled by determination and a touch of ingenuity (read: a cleverly tweaked application), Rex lands a spot amongst the best and brightest. However, the program’s intensity is no joke, and Rex must rely on her quick wit, tenacious spirit, and daring attitude to conquer the challenges.
One hitch? Keeping her embellished background a secret from the program directors, the stoic Pam (Gabrielle Union) and the ever-watchful Logan (Tom Hopper). Can this Florida firecracker survive the rigorous training and fulfill her lifelong dream of space exploration? Will her secret remain hidden, or will it all come crashing down?
Directed by Liz W. Garcia (of Purple Hearts and The Sinner fame), Space Cadet promises a heartwarming comedic adventure that celebrates staying true to yourself, chasing your dreams, and reaching for the stars (literally!).
