Movie Info & Cast

Synopsis

Neil Armstrong’s one small step on the moon’s surface in 1969 is a moment frozen in our collective memory, but the journey to get him there was actually the culmination of years of research and sacrifice. In fact, NASA’s Apollo 11 mission to land a man on the moon proved to be one of the most costly and dangerous in history. First Man brings that long journey to life, focusing on Armstrong himself during the years from 1961 to 1969 as he fought to make that small step. Ryan Gosling portrays the legendary astronaut in a film that finds him re-teamed with his Oscar®-winning La La Land director, Damien Chazelle. First Man is inspired by Armstrong’s authorized biography of the same name, written by James R. Hansen. The film also stars Claire Foy, Jason Clarke, Pablo Schreiber, Kyle Chandler, Ciarán Hinds, Ethan Embry, and Corey Stoll.

The movie succeeds thanks to director Damien Chazelle’s superb visuals, which land somewhere between the quiet indie look of his previous flick, “La La Land,” and the epic sweep of “Apollo 13.” Space has never looked so sexy, or felt so claustrophobic.

A stunning cinematic achievement that celebrates one of humanity’s biggest triumphs (and mourns the tragedies that happened leading up to it), yet it never loses sight of its personal and small-scale story about a man going to work.
