12 to the Moon

1960 · 75 min

A earnest, talky space adventure with dated effects and melodramatic stakes, best enjoyed as a nostalgic curiosity.

Tagline: Ride the Excitement Orbit to the Moon with the First Space Explorers!
Overview: Landed on the moon, Capt. John Anderson and his fellow astronauts quickly find their mission threatened – first by the disappearance of two team members, then by a troubling interaction with aliens who appear to be living within the moon itself. The aliens have weapons that could plunge parts of Earth into another ice age, and they're aiming for the United States.
How it feels: Earnest, tense, campy and whimsical. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Exploration, survival, betrayal, redemption
Content: Mild violence and sexual content. No gore or swearing.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
