They were the bravest, boldest and fastest test pilots, ready to serve their country as the first Americans in space when they were cruelly pushed aside and a chimpanzee got the honour. The team retired, but the dream of going into space never died. Now, over four decades later, Team Daedalus is back in action and the dream is alive. When an ageing Russian satellite suffers a systems failure that could be catastrophic, there is only one team who can save the day. Space Cowboys is a tale of grit, guts and glory, as the maverick astronauts finally get the chance to go into space. The heroic challenge has arrived.

In 1958, the members of Team Daedalus, a group of top Air Force test pilots, were ready to serve their country as the first Americans in space. When NASA replaced the Air Force for outer atmospheric testing, Team Daedalus was pushed aside and a chimpanzee got the honor. The team retired, but the dream of going into space never died. Now, over four decades later, the Russian satellite Ikon has suffered a systems failure that Russian officials insist will cause a total communications blackout in their country. NASA official Bob Gerson (JAMES CROMWELL) stumbles toward a solution and finds it in a very unexpected place. Since Ikon has the same guidance system as early American satellite Skylab, Skylab's designer should know how to fix Ikon. But Gerson already knows the designer. Now retired, Frank Corvin (CLINT EASTWOOD) is the one man alive who can do the job. This is the chance of a lifetime but Frank won't take it unless he can bring the only crew he trusts to do the job with him.
