Last Man on the Moon, The

Documentary, Adventure, Biography

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 is he ready to share his epic but deeply personal story of fulfillment, love, and loss.

The critical consensus

Cernan is a wise, warm presence, and the specifics of his story are extraordinary enough to withstand the somewhat hackneyed treatment.

Given the wealth of footage available, you can’t really go wrong with docs on the Apollo era – and yet amongst all that, Cernan is compellingly frank about the human costs of spaceflight.

Mark Craig’s documentary on astronaut Eugene Cernan aims to capture the pioneer spirit of the early Apollo missions and gets lost in cowboy romance.
