The Moon is a 2023 South Korean space survival drama film written, co-produced and directed by Kim Yong-hwa, starring Sol Kyung-gu, Doh Kyung-soo and Kim Hee-ae. The film follows the story of a Korean astronaut stranded on the moon after a mission goes wrong.
South Korea's first crewed lunar mission takes a disastrous turn when an explosion rocks the spacecraft, leaving astronaut Hwang Seon-woo stranded on the moon. With only the voice of his deceased commander guiding him, Seon-woo must fight for survival in the harsh lunar environment.
Back on Earth, the burden of rescue falls on Kim Jae-guk, the former head of the space center. Now retired and ostracized for his controversial past decisions, Jae-guk is the only one who possesses the knowledge and experience needed to bring Seon-woo home.
Against all odds, Jae-guk races against time to assemble a team and launch a rescue mission. He faces political opposition, technological limitations, and the ever-present threat of failure. Meanwhile, Seon-woo grapples with isolation, dwindling resources, and the psychological toll of being alone on a desolate world.
The Moon is a thrilling and emotional journey that explores the themes of resilience, sacrifice, and the human spirit. It is a testament to the power of hope and the unwavering determination to save a life, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.
