First Man

Watch Trailer
“Chazelle has made a nitty-gritty procedural that treats the NASA odyssey as a window into Armstrong’s unknowable mind, an inner space as mysterious as the outer one he blasts himself into. – A.A. Dowd, A.V. Club

On the heels of the six-time Academy Award-winning film, LA LA LAND, director Damien Chazelle and star Ryan Gosling reteam for FIRST MAN, the riveting story behind the first manned mission to the moon, focusing on Neil Armstrong and the decade leading to the historic Apollo 11 flight. A visceral and intimate account told from Armstrong’s perspective, the film explores the triumphs and the cost of one of the most dangerous missions in history.

Written by Academy Award winner Josh Singer (SPOTLIGHT, THE POST), the epic drama of leading under the pressure of grace and tragedy is based on the book by James R. Hansen.
