Countdown

The motion picture that puts a man on the moon and you follow him every terrifying second of the way.

Directed by Robert Altman

Produced by William Conrad Productions, Warner Bros.-Seven Arts

A tense, cerebral Cold War thriller that uses the space race as a backdrop to explore the psychological and existential toll of isolation and sacrifice.

Desperate to land a man on the moon before Russia does, NASA hastily preps a would-be spaceman for a mission that would leave him alone in a lunar shelter for a year.
