In 1967, during the height of the Cold War, two young CIA agents (Matt Johnson and Owen Williams) go undercover at NASA to investigate a possible Russian mole. In disguise as documentary filmmakers, they tap phones and break into offices while purporting to learn more about the Apollo project. But when they end up uncovering a shocking NASA secret — and a major government cover-up — they decide to embark on a new mission that may put their own lives at risk.
Cool 60s haircuts, moon boot footprints, and Kubrick name dropping: the trailer for Operation Avalanche has it all! What could be better than a fake documentary about the faked moon landing? Well, as it turns out, the team behind the movie doesn’t really believe in the conspiracy, but I won’t hold that against them 🙂 Perhaps their disbelief is just cleverly-placed disinformation in wrapped in a movie that looks to be pretty damn fun. You will definitely want to listen to Captain Kelly’s three part moon-series before watching this flick (episodes 69-71) but I can’t wait to see where writer/director/star Matt Johnson takes us in Operation Avalanche, in theaters September 16th, 2016.
