Moonfall 🎥 2022 Movie Info

Plot Summary

Astronauts Brian Harper, Jocinda “Jo” Fowler, and Alan Marcus are on a Space Shuttle mission to repair a satellite. A mysterious swarm of alien technology attacks the orbiter, killing Alan and knocking Jo unconscious before tunneling into the surface of the Moon. Brian, the only witness to the swarm, returns the crippled shuttle to Earth, but his story is dismissed, and he is fired from NASA. Ten years later, conspiracy theorist K.C. Houseman, who believes that the Moon is an artificial megastructure, surreptitiously gains access to a research telescope. He discovers that the Moon’s orbit is veering closer to Earth.

He tries to share his findings with Brian. NASA also discovers the anomaly. K.C. anonymously announces his observation on social media, which leads to a global panic. Jo, now NASA’s deputy director, launches a spacecraft on an SLS Block 1B+ rocket to investigate the abnormality. After the astronauts drop a probe into a miles-deep artificial shaft that has opened up on the Moon’s surface, the alien swarm attacks, killing all three lunar astronauts. The lunar orbit continues to decay, and as the Moon falls closer and closer to the Earth, seismic and gravitational disturbances occur. Jo meets former NASA official Holdenfield, who reveals that Brian was discredited because of a NASA coverup dating back to Apollo 11.

During the first Moon landing, a two-minute radio blackout was meant to conceal evidence of pulsating lights on the Moon’s surface. Apollo 12 revealed that the Moon is hollow. A military electromagnetic pulse device was created to eliminate the swarm, but the project was abandoned for budgetary reasons. With help from her ex-husband General Doug Davidson, Air Force Chief of Staff, Jo requisitions the EMP and commandeers retired Space Shuttle Endeavour from a museum to serve the new mission: to correct the Moon’s orbit and destroy the swarm. Brian, K.C., and Jo launch with the EMP, using the Moon’s gravity, narrowly escaping to orbit as a tsunami destroys Vandenberg Air Force Base.
