First Man

2018 · TMDB 7.0

Directed by Damien Chazelle

A look at the life of the astronaut, Neil Armstrong, and the legendary space mission that led him to become the first man to walk on the Moon on July 20, 1969.

Why it matters

Damien Chazelle's intimate account of Neil Armstrong's journey to the moon. Armstrong's legendary composure and emotional detachment are exactly what make him capable of landing the Eagle, but the film asks whether that same detachment has cost him his humanity.
