Der Ingenieur Neil Armstrong arbeitet Anfang der 60er Jahre als Testpilot für Jets und Raketenflugzeuge und hat mit seiner Frau Janet und den beiden Kindern Rick und Karen eine liebende Familie hinter sich, die ihm den Rücken stärkt. Sein ganzes Leben ändert sich jedoch, als seine Tochter an einem Gehirntumor stirbt und die Familie nach einer Veränderung sucht. Diese bietet sich, als die NASA für ein Mondprogramm auf der Suche nach Piloten mit Ingenieurswissen ist. Neil nutzt die Chance und zieht mit seiner Familie nach Houston, wo er eine Ausbildung zum Astronauten beginnt. Nach etlichen Strapazen und Testflügen kämpft sich der professionelle Ingenieur bis an die Spitze und wird bald gemeinsam mit Buzz Aldrin und Mike Collins mit der Apollo-11-Mission zum Mond geschickt.
Officially, Apollo 17 was the last manned mission to the moon. But a year later in 1973, three American astronauts were sent on a secret mission to the moon funded by the US Department of Defense. What you are about to see is the actual footage which the astronauts captured on that mission. While NASA denies its authenticity, others say it's the real reason we've never gone back to the moon.
What if Apollo 11 never actually made it? What if, in reality, Stanley Kubrick secretly shot the famous images of the moon landing in a studio, working for the US administration? This is the premise of a totally plausible conspiracy theory that takes us to swinging sixties London, where a stubborn CIA agent will never find Kubrick but is forced to team up with a lousy manager of a seedy rock band to develop the biggest con of all time.
Juli 1969. Die Mondlandung von "Apollo 11" steht kurz bevor. Die ganze Welt soll an diesem Ereignis teilhaben, wenn zum ersten Mal ein Mensch den Mond betreten wird. Und das kleine australische Städtchen Parkes spielt dabei eine nicht ganz unwichtige Rolle. Denn dort steht ein riesiges Radioteleskop - "The Dish" genannt - inmitten einer Schafweide, dass die Signale von "Apollo 11" empfängt und in Bilder für ein Millionenpublikum vor den Fernsehgeräten umsetzt. Vier Wissenschaftler geben ihr Bestes, um die Übertragung von Armstrongs Mondlandung zu sichern. Doch die Crew von "The Dish" verliert aufgrund eines technischen Defekts das Signal zu "Apollo 11". Ein Wettlauf gegen die Zeit beginnt, denn Neil Armstrongs "grosser Schritt für die Menschheit" steht unmittelbar bevor...

In 1965, the space station JSS-3 is destroyed by a fleet of UFOs, which then begin a global siege on Earth, using rays to manipulate gravity and control the minds of men. In response, a global council meeting is held to determine the source of the attacks and prepare a rocket ship armada for a counter-attack, a true battle in outer space. . . The film is a sequel of sorts to Toho's THE MYSTERIANS in the reprise of the Etsuko Shiraishi character of that film as its heroine. It was edited to 74 minutes for its American release.

Has man really been to the moon? It’s been 50 years, and the debate rages on. For the firs time, a film compiles in a single piece of work, all the best evidence in favor of the moon landings and the evidence contrary to them. For the first time we can also analyze the Apollo pictures in detail, with the aid of some among the top photographers in the world. What was the Apollo project really? The biggest achievement in the history of mankind, or the biggest fakery of all times, watched on live television by more than half a billion people?
Fearful that the Russians would continue their lead in the space race and be the first to put a man on the moon, NASA felt an enormous pressure to push the Apollo Program forward as quickly as possible, though they knew that pushing too hard could lead to the ultimate disaster.
