About the film

The twelve Apollo astronauts who walked the lunar surface between the years 1969 and 1972 lived for a brief time in spaces only imagined. The Apollo project was a stunning demonstration of technological virtuosity, and many consider that was all it needed to be. The astronauts who made the million-mile journey to the Moon didn’t just bring back rocks and pictures; they brought home the Moon as an extension of human territory. No longer just a bright circle in the night sky, people recognized the Moon as a place with mountains, valleys, canyons, and vast plains. The Apollo astronauts were true explorers, and only through the magic of The IMAX Experience can audiences go back to the Moon with them to see and hear their stories in a way never before possible.
