Moon Fall
In 2011, astronauts Brian Harper, Jocinda "Jo" Fowler, and newcomer Alan
Marcus are on a Space Shuttle mission to repair a satellite. A mysterious
swarm of alien technology attacks the orbiter, killing Alan and knocking Jo
unconscious before tunneling into the surface of the Moon. Brian, the only
witness to the swarm, returns the crippled shuttle to Earth, but his story
is dismissed and he is fired from NASA.
Ten years later, conspiracy theorist K.C. Houseman, who believes that the
Moon is an artificial megastructure, secretly uses a research telescope. He
discovers that the Moon's orbit is veering closer to Earth, and tries to
share his findings with the disgraced Brian. NASA also discovers the
anomaly, but K.C. goes public on social media, leading to a global panic. Jo
is now NASA's deputy director, launching a spacecraft on an SLS Block 1
rocket to investigate the abnormality. The same swarm attacks, killing all
three lunar astronauts after they drop a probe into a miles-deep artificial
shaft that has opened up on the Moon's surface.
As the lunar orbit deteriorates, the Moon falls closer and closer to the
Earth, causing seismic and gravitational disturbances. Jo meets former NASA
official Holdenfield, who reveals that Brian was discredited because of a
NASA coverup dating back to Apollo 11. During the first Moon landing, a
two-minute radio blackout was meant to conceal evidence of pulsating lights
on the surface. Apollo 12 revealed that the Moon is hollow, and a military
EMP device created to kill the swarm was abandoned for budgetary reasons.
With help from her ex-husband General Doug Davidson, Air Force Chief of
Staff, Jo requisitions the EMP and rescues retired Space Shuttle Endeavour
from a museum to serve the new mission: to correct the Moon's orbit and
destroy the swarm. Brian, K.C., and Jo launch with the EMP, narrowly
escaping to orbit as a tsunami destroys Vandenberg Air Force Base.
They reach the interior of the Moon, revealed to be a Dyson sphere powered
by a white dwarf at its center. The Dyson sphere's AI operating system
explains to Brian that billions of years ago, the technologically advanced
ancestors of modern humans were eradicated by a rogue AI. They built the
Moon as an interstellar ark to create and seed life on Earth, but the AI (in
the form of the swarm) discovered it and began siphoning energy from its
power source, destabilizing its orbit.
Meanwhile, Brian's son Sonny, Jo's son Jimmy, and his caretaker Michelle try
to reach Doug's military bunker in the Colorado mountains, finding Brian's
ex-wife and Sonny's mother Brenda, her husband Tom, and their family.
Escaping disasters caused by the Moon's proximity and fighting off other
survivors, the group finds safety in a mountain tunnel. As the Moon strips
away the local atmosphere, Tom's youngest daughter runs out of oxygen. The
injured Tom gives her his own supply, suffocating to death. The president
orders a nuclear strike on the approaching Moon, but Doug refuses to comply,
with debris collapsing the bunker shortly thereafter, apparently killing
Doug.
As the swarm only attacks organic life in the presence of electronic
activity, K.C. lures the swarm away from their spacecraft with their lunar
module, sacrificing himself to detonate the EMP. Jo and Brian return to
Earth, reuniting with their families, and the Moon's power is restored,
returning to its regular orbit, but now shed of its rocky exterior.
Reconstructing K.C.'s consciousness, the Moon's operating system appears to
K.C. as his cat, Fuzz Aldrin, and his mother, remarking that they must now
"get started".
