Description

Dramatic, moving and insightful, ARMSTRONG tells the definitive life story of Neil Armstrong: from his childhood in rural Ohio, through aerial combat in Korea, to his first steps on the Moon - and the unwanted celebrity status that ensued. It is the story of a quiet determined man who became an aviator, astronaut, husband, father and reluctant hero. Made with the full support of his surviving family, it includes previously unseen home-movie footage shot by Armstrong himself. Neil’s own words provide the narration based on his rare interviews, writings and speeches, which are delivered by renowned actor and aviation enthusiast Harrison Ford. The film includes major interviews with his family, an exceptional cast of fellow astronauts and aviators, those who knew him in his youth and later life, together with newly filmed sequences at some of the key locations from his life story.

    Beautiful film. Lovely footage - very moving picture of the “inside story.” Not much information I didn’t know already, but it expanded on it and was more personal. The home footage was what made the film for me.

    As an avid space fan and considering myself somewhat knowledgeable about the iconic Apollo 11 mission, this film opened my eyes to a truly humanizing and humbling portrait of an American hero, Neil Armstrong. For as much reverance he has received in the culturual zeitgeist, there is so much more depth and nuance to this man which has never been fully explored until now. ARMSTRONG provides a brilliant balance of objectivity and initimate storytelling through the Harrison-ford voiced words of Neil himself. From the archival imagery, to the heartfelt testimonials of friends and family, to the riveting score... This film is a MUST WATCH, again and again.
