Project Detail

The Last Man on the Moon

Synopsis

When Apollo astronaut Gene Cernan stepped off the moon in December 1972 he left his footprints and his daughter’s initials in the lunar dust. Only now, over forty years later, is he ready to share his epic but deeply personal story of fulfillment, love and loss.
Cernan’s burning ambition carried him from a quiet Chicago suburb to the spectacular and hazardous environment of space, and ultimately, to the moon. But there was a heavy price to be paid along the way. As Cernan's wife Barbara famously remarked, "If you think going to the moon is hard, try staying at home."
Using a wealth of rare archive, home movies, scrapbooks and intimate moments with his closest friends and family, Cernan brings spine-tingling experiences to the big screen more vividly than any moonwalker has done before.

The personal story of three exceptional astronauts who came together in America’s race for the Moon - Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee. The events that followed shook the US space program to the core, and has left a lasting impact on their families and on all space flights since. With exceptional access granted to the production team along with a rich ingredient of unseen personal archive, it's a story of jeopardy, adventure, tragedy and recovery, as told by those closest to the crew. Ultimately, it’s an inspiring story of the human spirit, as we continue our quest towards new horizons in space and look to the new generation of Artemis astronauts prepared to face the risks in doing so.
