A Million Miles Away
A Million Miles Away
A biopic about Jose Hernandez and his path from a farm worker to becoming an engineer and an astronaut. A tale of perseverance, community and sacrifice to accomplish a seemingly impossible dream.

Michael Peña stars in this inspiring true story of a young migrant farmworker, Jose Hernandez, with a dream to become an astronaut. It hits a lot of familiar beats, but that doesn’t mean the emotional beats have any less impact. It’s a moving story of perseverance and sacrifice that’s given a massive assist from Rosa Salazar as Jose’s irresistibly charming wife and partner. I’m more and more impressed with Salazar after each new role. An enjoyable and inspiring biopic.
