Truth Is Never Launched Without Friction2025


Commander Eric West was born to fly — but the sky never agreed.

Commander Eric West was born to fly — but the sky never agreed. After a sudden and humiliating dismissal from NASA, a once-promising astronaut retreats deep into denial, constructing an elaborate fantasy in which he is still preparing for a crucial launch. As his fractured mind tries to reconcile failure with purpose, Eric becomes the hero of his own delusion: kidnapped by foreign operatives, racing through back-channel launch sites, and ultimately blasting off on a mission only he can complete. But the truth is far simpler — and far more devastating. Eric never left the ground. Directed by Matthew Hoge and starring Jack Luger and Min. H.
