Opening Sept. 16, 2016 in theaters:
In 1967, during the height of the Cold War, two young CIA agents (Matt Johnson and Owen Williams) go undercover at NASA to investigate a possible Russian mole. In disguise as documentary filmmakers, they tap phones and break into offices while purporting to learn more about the Apollo project. But when they end up uncovering a shocking NASA secret — and a major government cover-up — they decide to embark on a new mission that may put their own lives at risk.
The film features scenes shot at NASA's Johnson Space Center, which like the plot of the movie, were accomplished through subterfuge.
"We told them we were students shooting a documentary on how this place was in the sixties. We were friendly. We shot what we needed and left the same way we came in."
What the NASA people didn't know... is that they were freely offering their facilities as the setting of a narrative feature. It may be the first time in history they've done so. It will almost certainly be the last.

In some ways this looks comical, other ways of subversive government tactics, it looks actually real. Love the name Zapruder films. Why do I know Buzz Aldrin is going to hate this film...
