A team composed of an aerospace scientist, an ex-Air Force general, and an industrialist conceives an ambitious plan to land Americans on the moon. From their base in the Mojave Desert, they construct and successfully launch a spacecraft named "Luna" that contains a cargo of four astronauts. But a critical miscalculation of needed power to escape the moon's gravitational pull may put the astronauts' lives in danger.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie 'Destination Moon' is a pure science fiction adventure focused entirely on space travel. There are no indicators across any of the five criteria that suggest a connection to the Christmas season, plot, themes, or iconography."
