Watch: Space Cowboys 2000 123movies, Full Movie Online – When a Russian satellite orbiting the Earth starts to veer off course. It seems like the guidance system in the satellite is of American origin. It’s important to try and fix it before it comes into the atmosphere. N.A.S.A. man, Bob Gerson (James Cromwell) tries to find out who designed it, and discovers that it was designed by Frank Corvin (Clint Eastwood), an Air Force pilot who, forty years ago, was part of a team who was originally suppose to go to space, but when N.A.S.A. was formed and Gerson’s influence, they were dropped. Gerson asks Frank to help, but Frank still holds a grudge. But after some prodding, he agrees but only if he and his team can go there so he can fix it. Gerson reluctantly agrees, so Frank recruits his former team members, “Tank” Sullivan (James Garner), Jerry O’Neill (Donald Sutherland), and “Hawk” Hawkins (Tommy Lee Jones) to join him. After some strenuous tests, they’re cleared. And they go up with two other astronauts and check out the satellite and discover that they weren’t told the whole truth..
Plot: Frank Corvin, ‘Hawk’ Hawkins, Jerry O’Neill and ‘Tank’ Sullivan were hotdog members of Project Daedalus, the Air Force’s test program for space travel, but their hopes were dashed in 1958 with the formation of NASA and the use of trained chimps. They blackmail their way into orbit when Russia’s mysterious ‘Ikon’ communications satellite’s orbit begins to degrade and threatens to crash to Earth.

Yea right, we have John Glenn to thank for this one.
Space Cowboys builds its humor around a quartet of aged characters who seize their first and last opportunity to fulfill their lifelong goal of going into space. Space Cowboys satirizes the traditionally romanticized conception of the young hero by portraying its characters as sagacious –yet imperfect– old men.

Space Cowboys revisits its embittered protagonist, the retired Air Force test pilot Frank Corvin (Clint Eastwood), forty years after a humiliating episode where he is replaced by a monkey for a 1958 NASA mission to space. Unexpectedly, Frank is summoned by ex-boss and NASA official Bob Gerson (James Cromwell) to fix a Russian communications satellite that is soon to crash, and that contains the obsolete guidance system that he and his colleagues designed for the earlier satellite, Skylab. Realizing he is the only one who can fix the system, Frank coerces the desperate Bob into rehiring his old team: pilot Hawk Hawkins (Tommy Lee Jones), structural engineer Jerry O’Neil (Donald Sutherland), and navigator Tank Sullivan (James Garner) –all seemingly unlikely candidates for the task at hand. Gaining the trust of NASA Engineer Sara Holland (Marcia Gay Harden) and the mistrust of flight director Eugene Davis (William Devane), the reunited “Team Daedalus” face the biggest mission of their lives.

Space Cowboys, which benefits from the performances of four seasoned actors, successfully establishes its four main characters as the source for all its comedy. Space Cowboys’ initial introduction of its protagonist (in the brief black and white sequence which includes the humiliating incident with the monkey), offers a convenient setup which allows the ellipsis of forty years to hyperbolize the four characters’ emotional states and to justify their subsequent actions. Furthermore, this initial sequence, which also depicts the four characters as audacious US Air Force pilots, establishes itself as a point of reference against which the present inconsequential lives of Frank, Hawk, Jerry and Tank will be contrasted.

Space Cowboys subtly and effectively creates an analogy between the characters and the troublesome “guidance system”: while the men’s present occupations are portrayed as rather useless, the guidance system’s design is described as old and obsolete, yet neither the men nor the system are entirely expendable. (This suggested duality of man/system is emphasized by Frank’s ironic statement: “…it wasn’t designed for this duration.”) While Space Cowboys draws its humor from the characters’ efforts to revert to their prior occupation and regain importance, the second part of the film –the mission– serves a dramatic purpose, where the characters’ true mission is to disprove the others’ belief that they are outdated and replaceable. Narratively, Space Cowboys’ space sequence does little more than simply prolong the characters’ task of proving themselves, yet visually, it offers eye-catching special effects and set design.

Nevertheless, Space Cowboys succeeds more as a comedy that deconstructs its heroes than as a drama that exalts their heroism.

Not Eastwood’s best, but a pretty good science fiction drama
Having seen only a few of Clint Eastwood’s films, I can’t put this movie up against too many of his other films. However, considering the high quality of his other films, I was expecting a bit from this movie. I was pleasantly surprised. It was really entertaining. The plot is very good, very involving, and moves along at a nice pace. The acting is mostly very good, some of the minor characters seemed to be more or less miscast and not perfectly well-played. The four main characters all do excellent jobs in portraying their respective characters. I especially enjoyed the comic relief presented by Donald Sutherland’s character. The characters are all well-written and their actions are credible, in nearly every scene. The special effects are pretty good, they look very real, and do a good job of convincing the viewer that it is actually happening, or, at the very least, it could happen. The end could be called poetic, without giving it too much credit. The actors all share very good on-screen chemistry. You believe that these people could have that friendship with each other. I recommend this to anyone who likes Clint Eastwood’s directing style, dramas and science fiction. 8/10
