First Man

First Man

Damien Chazelle directs this US biographical drama about astronaut Neil Armstrong (Ryan Gosling) as he prepares to lead NASA's Apollo 11 mission to land a man on the Moon in the late 1960s. As pressure begins to mount around the impending mission and recurrent failings of the spacecraft leave the project hanging in the balance, Neil must question whether the need to fulfil mankind's biggest adventure outweighs the risk of possibly leaving his family behind forever and never returning home. The cast also includes Claire Foy, Corey Stoll, Kyle Chandler and Jason Clarke.
