    Storyline

    Edit
    Ethan Kane, a NASA astronaut and decorated pilot, has recently retired from active duty to spend more time with his wife and young son. As he tries to adjust to a quieter life on the ground, he's approached to fly one last mission - testing the first faster-than-light spacecraft. While the world watches, Kane takes 'The Longshot' on its maiden voyage. Something goes wrong during the test and Ethan reaches further than he imagined, cut-off from the control station and from everything that he loves. Will Ethan be able to return?

    Worth its 15 minutes of fame
    2/21/18. Too bad it lasted only 15 minutes, but it was great while it lasted. Great special effects with a good sci-fi story behind it. Nice to be able to catch this online via digg.com
