Some say it’s a hoax. Some believe the incident, but what makes the moon landing conspiracy theories so interesting? The Apollo and NASA program and NASA are considered infamous hoaxers regarding the moon conspiracy theory.
However, reeling into fiction, films use this conspiracy theory as a theme to tangle the story plot. One brand-new 2024 American romantic-comedy Fly Me to the Moon starring Scarlett Johnson and Channing Tatum.

The plot revolves around the characters of a marketing specialist and the NASA launch director in charge of a fictionalized version of the Apollo 11 mission.
True Story of the Apollo moon landing
Everyone loves conspiracy theories, mainly when it comes to moon landing. The historic allegation regarding the Apollo 11 moon landing is that the six crewed landings were faked and that 12 Apollo astronauts didn’t land on the moon.
However, later on, it was acclaimed that NASA misled the people into believing that they had landed by tampering with tapes, radio and samples.
The rise of conspiracy theories mainly arises with photographic anomalies, Van Allen Radiation Belts, duplicate backdrop and no astronaut’s footprint in certain photos.
Even though evidence was provided regarding the landing, people still didn’t believe the conspiracy because there was a distrust of the government, psychological factors and misinformation.
In conclusion, these conspiracies regarding the moon landing stayed strong, even though evidence was provided to say otherwise.
The movie uses this as a weapon to further discuss the Apollo landing to speak with the audience.
Plot of the movie.
Directed by Greg Berlanti, focusing on the story of Bill Kristein and Keenan Flynn. Bringing in the romantic – comedy highlights the historic Apollo 11 moon landing. Polished in the framework of romance, the movie also tackles the conspiracy theory.
Breaking from the atmosphere of redundant conventionalism, but what makes this movie different is that the movie is trying to reinforce the real story of the moon landing.
But is the movie misdirecting the audience with its story? The movie has its visuals and fiction in its pockets, questioning or rather showing the alleged NASA stunt, but it does not misdirect its viewers, because there lacks evidence of the proposal advocated by NASA.
The story follows the early 1960s when NASA understood the need for better publication and relations during the Vietnam War, which led to the introduction of the Apollo landing. The strategic planning to establish a campaign regarding the landing debriefs the fake landing on the moon.
Fly Me to the Moon isn’t the first feature film to bring out the myth and story of the Apollo landing. Movies like Capricorn One (1978) have given the story of a fictionalized mission to Mars, and Moonwalkers (2015) tells the story of C.I.A agent with a rock band to fake the Apollo II landing.
The script and screenplay consist of a brief and thorough study of the actual landing of the Apollo on the moon, as the writer Rose Gilory stated that she took the effort to read books and understand the history to know about the conspiracy.
The movie initially does a great work of bringing fact and fiction to create a story that the new generation individuals aren’t aware of.
The movie has succeeded in theater with a score of 65% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 91% audience score.
