A man narrates stories of his life as a 10-year-old boy in 1969 Houston, weaving tales of nostalgia with a fantastical account of a journey to the moon.

Richard Linklater and Glen Powell sit down with IMDb to talk about their new film, 'Apollo 10 1/2,' what it's like to premiere a film at SXSW, and the secret to making people feel nostalgic for a time they never lived in.

Storyline

Edit

Plot Summary	The story of the first moon landing in the summer of 1969 from two interwoven perspectives. It both captures the astronaut and mission control view of the triumphant moment, and the lesser-seen bottom up perspective of what it was like from an excited kid's perspective, living near NASA but mostly watching it on TV like hundreds of millions of others. It's ultimately both an exacting re-creation of this special moment in history and a kid's fantasy about being plucked from his average life in suburbia to secretly train for a covert mission to the moon.

Did You Know?

Edit

Trivia	Parts of the filming were done in front of a green screen, and everything the characters did not interact with or touch was animated in post-production. Parts of the film, which were shot in live-action, were animated during post-production using a technique similar to the rotoscoping used in Linklater's Waking Life (2001) and A Scanner Darkly (2006).

Goofs	When Stan's sister Jana puts the Monkees self-titled debut album on the turntable, it is shown to have been released on the Sundazed label, which was a reissue edition marketed in 1996. The original 1967 album was released in the U.S. on the Colgems label. See more »
