It is the early 1960s and NASA is hell-bent on landing the moon. The mission is joined by a team of dedicated astronauts including the test pilot Neil Armstrong (Ryan Gosling) — who later became the first man to walk on the moon.
The biographical drama spans the series of life-threatening training and missions over years — that ultimately led to the iconic landing on July 16, 1969 with the Apollo 11 spaceflight. The film also touches upon Armstrong’s personal life.

“Mom, what's wrong?” the youngest Armstrong son asks his worried mother Janet (Claire Foy), who's got her back to him and standing alone in the bedroom with her head down. As she turns and faces him, she says: “Nothing, honey. Your dad's going to the Moon.” Appearing deep into First Man — the docudrama-like biopic of Neil Armstrong (Ryan Gosling) from La La Land and Whiplash director Damein Chazelle — the slightly-humorous interaction hits at the obsessive craziness that plagued NASA in the sixties, having been tasked by the late US President John F. Kennedy to get an astronaut to the lunar surface. Though the Soviet Union had already launched a man into space, which propelled Kennedy's decision, his call to action was still a literal moonshot. No one really knew if it could be done.
