Affleck is John, a man on a mission in the near future to Titan (a Jupiter moon), which may contain resources to mitigate climate change on earth. Joining him on this pursuit is Captain Franks (Laurence Fishburne) and Nash (Tomer Capone), both vying for John’s attention in different ways. They use hibernation chambers nine months at a time, and each time they wake up the effects of the powerful sedatives are more apparent. As the journey drags on, heading toward a “slingshot” maneuver around Jupiter, which will accelerate their course toward Titan, signs of wear and tear start to become more dangerous.

”Slingshot” is in theaters beginning August 30th. Featuring Casey Affleck, Laurence Fishburne, Tomer Capone and Emily Beecham. Written by R. Scott Adams and Nathan Parker. Directed by Mikael Håfström. Rated “R”
