The Academy Award–winning team of director Damien Chazelle and actor Ryan Gosling (LA LA LAND) reunites for this biopic on the life of Neil Armstrong, from his entry into NASA's astronaut program in 1961 to his epoch-making walk on the moon eight years later. Academy Award-winning screenwriter Josh Singer (SPOTLIGHT) adapted James R. Hansen's book about Armstrong, and gets the texture of his world and details of his character spot on. FIRST MAN inspires real awe at this story of heroism that is epic, majestic and true. TIFF

“A movie so revelatory in its realism, so gritty in its physicality, that it becomes a drama of thrillingly hellbent danger and obsession.” - Variety
