MOON (2009) is the feature debut of director Duncan Jones. It is a sci-fi drama starring Sam Rockwell as the lonesome astronaut contracted by Lunar Industries to oversee their lunar mining facilities. There is no live communication with the Earth, and for a period of three years, Sam Bell’s only real-time interaction is with GERTY, an intelligent supercomputer designed to attend to his daily needs.
Sam’s isolation eventually begins to take its toll, to the point where he’s sure he’s beginning to hallucinate; all he wants is to return to Earth, to come back to his wife and daughter. Suddenly, surprising events unfold - and he’s confronted with some peculiar questions. What would you do should you meet a previous version of yourself? Do you really have something to come home to?
