The Accusation

Major Reggie Warren wird beschuldigt, Fahrerflucht begangen zu haben. Die Polizei führt ihn in Handschellen vom NASA-Gelände ab. Sein Traum von einer Mission im All scheint damit in weite Ferne gerückt. Seine Kollegen sind sich sicher, dass die Vorwürfe gegen ihn ungerechtfertig sind. Trotzdem steht Bull vor einer schweren Entscheidung: Muss er Reggie aus dem Team für die nächste Mission nehmen?

After Reggie gives an inspiring talk to a group of African-American youths at a local church, he is accused of a terrible hit and run accident by a couple of white youths with whom he had previously had an unpleasant encounter. Led away from NASA in handcuffs, he fears that his long dream of making it to space may be over for good as he watches the newly appointed Head of the Astronaut Office, Bull, ready a replacement for the mission. Although this is devastating to Reggie he is determined to clear his name and reclaim his position as Mission Commander.
