In 1969, Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon.
In 1970, Apollo 18, 19 and 20 were cancelled due to budgetary concerns. So it was Apollo 17 as the last official mission to the moon. But there is a reason why the Apollo 18 mission was never officially documented.
The film claims that some parts of the movie are actual footage of the Apollo 18 expedition. The mission was to setup an advance tracking system that serves as an early warning device that can detect if Russia would release any missiles against the United States.
During the mission, some strange noise interferences can be heard over the radio. Later on, they find tracks on the moon surface, foot prints that don’t belong to them. They eventually find a Russian space pod which seems to be out of place at that time, since they were not aware that Russians made it to the moon without their knowledge.
And then there’s more to the mission than what was briefed to them. It seems that the Russians are not the only ones there. No wonder they no longer have missions to land on the moon.

Elements Bits number 1:
Transparency. Taking on the movie plot and applying it to real life, of course you don’t really expect the government to be that transparent. Even if they try to be, there is always that thought that a couple of things might be left out. Information may be treated as on a need to know basis, sometimes not knowing the real intention can be best for the recipient, because we know that the truth sometimes hurt.
-------------------
I love conspiracy theories. Most especially if it involves extra-terrestrial life. The movie promotes a website, Lunartruth.com , where information can be found about the lunar landings.
