What is Fly Me to the Moon About?
The film follows Kelly Jones, a marketing expert, and Cole Davis, the director in charge of the Apollo 11 mission at NASA. With low public support for the moon program, Kelly is hired to boost interest in the mission among the masses. As Cole and Kelly work together and start to fall for each other, they also have a big task at hand: filming a fake moon landing in case the real mission fails.
The official synopsis of the film reads, “Fly Me to the Moon is a sharp, stylish comedy-drama set against the high-stakes backdrop of NASA’s historic Apollo 11 moon landing. Sparks fly in all directions as marketing maven Kelly Jones, brought in to fix NASA’s public image, wreaks havoc on launch director Cole Davis’ already difficult task. When the White House deems the mission too important to fail, Jones is directed to stage a fake moon landing as backup, and the countdown truly begins.”
