The Last Man on the Moon

The 1960s was a period of rapid advancement in America, particularly marked by the advent of NASA's space program. Amidst this era of exploration, Eugene Cernan, an adrenaline-seeking test pilot, found himself as one of the chosen few to embark on lunar expeditions. Selected alongside 14 other men in a discrete process that forged unparalleled camaraderie and rivalry amongst them, Cernan was among the rare few who visited the moon twice, his second trip coinciding with NASA's concluding lunar mission. As he reflects on the eight years spent in Houston, we witness an extraordinary life unfolding - a journey filled with love and loss.Director Mark Craig meticulously crafts this biographical film by intertwining the profound wisdom of surviving astronauts with archival footage and breathtaking images of lunar landscapes. This results in an intimate portrayal that captures not only Cernan's incredible adventures but also the emotional complexities he faced, ultimately revealing a rich tapestry of human experience amidst the vast unknowns of space exploration.
