Coming to theaters in 2022, Moonfall (an astrophysicist thinks it’s not at all plausible, but is that really the point?) tells the story of a mysterious force that knocks the moon out of orbit and hurtles toward Earth. The impact will occur in a matter of weeks, which will include the destruction of all life on our planet. Two NASA astronauts and a conspiracy theorist join forces to attempt an impossible mission into space… and discover that our moon isn’t what we think.
