Tagline: In the year 2050, the battle to save the earth will be fought on the sun.

Plot Summary: A huge solar flare is predicted to fry the Earth. Astronauts must go to the Sun to drop a talking bomb (Freddy) at the right time so the flare will point somewhere else. Giant IXL Corp CEO Teague thinks the flare won't happen and wants the mission to fail so he can buy the planet cheaply while the scare lasts. Employee Haas prepares a surprise for the astronauts. While daddy Steve Kelso commands the space ship where temperaturs rise, granddaddy Admiral Skeet Kelso is searching the desert for grandson Mike who's gone AWOL to say goodbye to his dad but who inadvertently crossed the path of the guys from IXL after meeting desert-dweller Travis.

Comments: The main idea is that a massive solar flare is going to erupt on the sun. They don't know how big it will be, but of course the earth is in danger. So a crew must be sent to detonate a bomb on the sun to some how stop the solar flare, and save the planet. But a greedy company on earth for some odd reason doesn't want this to happen, and they try and make the mission fail. All in all it was a decent sci-fi.
