Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell) has been living a lonely life for 3 long years; mining vital gas from the far side of the moon, and obstructed from communicating home thanks to a broken satellite. However, as his contract with Lunar Industries nears its end, and with hopes of a family reunion appearing on the horizon, Sam's health suddenly takes a turn for the worst which leads to a near fatal accident and the discovery that his employers plan to replace him with a new recruit, who is all too eerily familiar.

Reviews
"mesmerizing mind-bender [...] Director Duncan Jones (son of David Bowie), working from a script by Nathan Parker, pulls off sci-fi miracles on a $5 million shoestring. Moon is a potent provocation that relies on ideas instead of computer tricks to stir up excitement." Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
"A conceptually fascinating exploration on identity, Duncan Jones’ Moon is a frequently engrossing science fiction story given a particular tension and seriousness by its moral inquiry into what it means to be fully human and alive." Patrick Z McGavin, Screen International
