In a not-too-distant future, where space tourism is a booming industry, Captain Ryan Clark (Hugh Laurie) is in over his head while operating Herman Judd’s (Josh Gad) opulent spaceship Avenue 5.  after it is disastrously thrown off course, turning what was supposed to be an eight-week cruise into an eight-year journey.

They are celebrated as heroes on Earth, and everyone in outer space can hear them scream.
