Streaming on HBO Max, MOONSHOT is a romantic comedy, with a science fiction setting, about two polar opposite college students. Walt and Sophie are traveling to Mars to be with their significant others. Sophie pays the hefty million dollar fee. Walt doesn’t have the money. Also, he’s applied and been rejected 37 times by the Mars scholarship program. Walt latches onto Sophie, but she has nothing but disdain for a guy she repeatedly calls too stupid to have a right to go to Mars. Walt takes advantage of Sophie’s brief soft spot to help him get to the spaceship take-off site. He then becomes her stowaway. Sophie begins to see winning qualities in this otherwise average ne’er do well. However, is it enough to steer Sophie away from her perfectly planned, but not affirming, life?
