The riveting story behind the first manned mission to the moon, focusing on Neil Armstrong and the decade leading to the historic Apollo 11 flight. A visceral and intimate account told from Armstrong's perspective, based on the book by James R. Hansen, the film explores the triumphs and the cost, on Armstrong, his family, his colleagues and the nation itself; of one of the most dangerous missions in history. "A movie so revelatory in its realism, so gritty in its physicality, that it becomes a drama of thrillingly hell-bent danger and obsession."--Variety. "This sober, contemplative picture has emotional involvement, visceral tension, and yes, even suspense, in addition to stunning technical craft."--Hollywood Reporter. "As Chazelle oscillates between documenting NASA's many missteps and peering behind the curtain of the Armstrong's' domestic lives, he conjures the type of cinematic high any filmgoer has been chasing since they first stepped inside a theatre."--Globe and Mail (UK).
