Experiencing the Lunar Landing

Apollo 11 is a fully immersive experience. The movie showcases some of the large-format footage of the mission that was shot by top cinematographers but which, for 50 years, was only shown in cropped formats, when any of it was shown at all. More than 60 high-definition, unfaded reels sat forgotten for nearly five decades until the National Archives and Records Administration's Dan Rooney went through them doing research for the movie. In the hands of director Todd Douglas Miller and his team, those reels provided the material for what is no less than the definitive motion-picture account of the mission that sent the first men to the moon.
