Fly Me to the Moon (2024)


Set against the 1960s Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union in their rush to get to the moon first, an ambitious advertising executive (Scarlett Johansson) is teamed up with a reluctant NASA flight director (Channing Tatum) and tasked with creating a fake moon landing as a back-up in case the actual Apollo 11 mission fails, with the intention of running that film regardless of the outcome. This movie succeeds in blurring the lines between fact and fiction and those conspiracy theories that claim the moon landing was faked. To me, this is actually the most plausible explanation.
