On the wave of the great success of the Oscar-winning® La La Land, Damien Chazelle, winner of the Academy Award for Best Director, presents the effect of another collaboration with Ryan Gosling. In the film "The First Man" we will see the backstage of the first successful mission of man to the moon. The creators focused on the arduous preparations of Neil Armstrong for the historic mission of Apollo 11. The "first man", the image that was created on the motifs of the book by James R. Hansen, focuses on the mission seen through the eyes of Neil Armstrong. We get to know the taste of triumph, but also the price that Armstrong, his family, friends and relatives and the nation paid for the mission.

Chazelle wonders about the price that Armstrong paid, setting off on the most dangerous mission in human history. He tries to find out if the price was worth the undisputed success. Continuing his film journey, Chazelle, after facing the subject of a difficult road to achieve perfection in the picture of "Whiplash" and deconstruction of the musical genre in "La La Land", faces the difficult task of showing a film about one of the most important missions in the history of mankind, inviting the audience on a unique journey.

In the role of a passionate, brave and underestimated hero of the second plan of the whole mission - Armstrong's wife - Janet Armstrong we will see Claire Foy, known from the series "The Crown".
