The story

The film opens with President John F. Kennedy's 1962 "We choose to go to the Moon" speech. In 1967, ambitious CIA agents Matt Johnson, Owen Williams, Andy Apelle, and Jared Raab convince their superiors to let them infiltrate NASA—disguised as a documentary crew filming the Apollo 11 mission—in an effort to root out a KGB mole inside the organization.
