Their newly appointed director, Vi Rose Hill (Latifah), stubbornly wants to stick with their tried-and-true traditional style, while the fiery G.G. Sparrow (Parton) thinks tried-and-true translates to tired-and-old. Shaking things up even more is the arrival of G.G.'s rebellious grandson, Randy (Jeremy Jordan). Randy has an ear for music, but he also has an eye for Vi Rose's beautiful and talented daughter, Olivia (Keke Palmer), and the sparks between the two teenagers are causing even more heat between G.G. and Vi Rose.

Terrorists lay dead. The hostages rush out to board the transport planes waiting to evacuate the hostages to safety. During the mission, a lone shot from a control tower burst in the night -- and a sharp cry for help is heard. That cry would become the cry of an entire nation, mourning the loss of its prodigal son… Thirty-year-old Jonathan Netanyahu has been shot dead. After leading the dramatic raid to free the hostages at Entebbe, Jonathan Netanyahu becomes the "impossible mission's" most tragic casualty. With his death, Jonathan became an international hero.

| Richard Garriot: Man on A Mission Last year Richard Garriott became the first son of an astronaut to go to space, but this is no millionaire's joy ride, he pioneered private space travel to make his dream come true: from his training in Russia to his launch in Kazakhstan to the dramatic, never before seen footage inside the capsule during fiery re-entry, this is a historic moment in human space travel. In January of 2008, Richard writes a $30 million check to secure his seat on the Russian Soyuz rocket. In October, he launches 250 miles straight up to the International Space Station where he orbits Earth for 10 days. The film follows Richard through his year of training. From Star City, Moscow, to NASA, to Yuri Gagarin's original launch pad – viewers are Richard's co-pilot in his journey to the stars. Once in space, Richard takes over the filming. He and his camera float weightless inside the tiny Soyuz capsule for the two days it takes to dock with the ISS. Then we experience life on board the Space Station as Richard performs experiments, looks down on mother Earth and even does magic tricks. What's more, Richard keeps the camera rolling for some never before seen footage from inside the re-entry capsule as it makes a fiery return to earth. On the ground, his astronaut father is there to meet him, officially welcoming us all to the next generation of human space exploration.
