Perpetuating and capitalizing on one of the great conspiracy theories of our time – the faked Apollo 11 moon landing – writer/director Matt Johnson takes a step back in time with OPERATION AVALANCHE; a faux documentary, created with a very real temporal and visual sensibility, enough so as to have everyone second guessing what really happened in those early Apollo years.
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.
Directed by Matt Johnson and co-written by Johnson and Josh Boles, OPERATION AVALANCHE stars Matt Johnson, Owen Williams, and Josh Boles.
OPERATION AVALANCHE in theatres September 16th.
BONUS NOTE: And let me just add now, for a fun-filled double bill, check out OPERATION AVALANCHE in theatres and follow-it up with the hilarious MOONWALKERS starring Ron Perlman and Rupert Grint which has its own comedic narrative take on the Apollo 11 mission.
