Zbadljiva, elegantna komična drama, ki se odvija ob Nasinem zgodovinskem pristanku Apolla 11 na Luni. Marketinška mojstrica Kelly Jones, ki jo Nasa najame, da ji izboljša javno podobo, močno zmede že tako težko nalogo vodje izstrelitve Cola Davisa in iskrice začnejo letet. Ko Bela hiša presodi, da je misija prepomembna, da bi spodletela, Kelly naročijo, naj za vsak primer uprizori rezervni lažni pristanek na Luni – in odštevanje se začne zares.
Film govori o petnajstih letih ameriškega vesoljskega programa in se osredotoča na izvirno posadko projekta Mercury. Scott Glenn upodobi Alana Sheparda, prvega Američana v vesolju; Fred Ward je Gus Grissom, astronavt, ki se mu nič ne izide po načrtih; Ed Harris igra Johna Glenna, prvega Američana, ki je obkrožil Zemljo. Soočajo se z nevarnostmi in skrbmi, ki pestijo astronavte (med drugim se Glenn ves čas pritožuje, da je težko biti samozavesten, če veš, da je tvojo raketo zgradil najcenejši ponudnik), pa tudi z osebnimi krizami, ki vključujejo njihove družine (Glennova žena Annie, ki jeclja, se boji televizijskega intervjuja, medtem ko je Grissomova žena Betty jezna, da njenega moža nimajo za junaka, ker njegova misija ni uspela, in grenko izjavi: "Hočem svoj trenutek slave!"). Prikazan je tudi razkol med brezmadežno podobo Mercuryjevih pilotov v javnosti in njihovo včasih precej prostaško naravo.
