About this movie

From director Todd Douglas Miller (Dinosaur 13) comes a cinematic event 50 years in the making. Crafted from a newly discovered trove of 65mm footage, and more than 11,000 hours of uncatalogued audio recordings, Apollo 11 takes us straight to the heart of NASA's most celebrated mission—the one that first put men on the moon, and forever made Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin into household names. Immersed in the perspectives of the astronauts, the team in Mission Control, and the millions of spectators on the ground, we vividly experience those momentous days and hours in 1969 when humankind took a giant leap into the future.

Ratings and reviews

A rare masterpiece bringing to the 21st Century viewer a remastering set of footages filmed in low tech in the weeks and days leading to launch of the rocket that propelled three brave astronauts to the moon, culminating with first landing on the moon. A real marvel.

A presentation that does justice to one of those rare moments where humanity rises above its primate pettiness and achieves its potential.

Fabulous footage!
