a film about human nature

Two astronauts came to an unfamiliar planet, and a series of discoveries made this a shocking secret plan. The Russians came to the moon, and the bodies of the Russian astronauts turned the moon from mystery to terror. A small stone removed from the body was the turning point of the entire sampling mission from smooth to terrifying, and the lunar spacecraft began to experience a series of failures. A series of national security explanations from the Department of Defense led the two poor astronauts to suspect that they were experimenting in the first place. A poor astronaut is infected, and the approach of death makes an otherwise calm astronaut become restless, while another astronaut can only watch his partner continue to die but can't do anything. There is no way to contact Houston or the orbital warehouse, and the oxygen is about to run out, which makes people feel helpless before death. The Russian spaceship was the last hope, but at this time the country had given up on these two poor people, and the uninfected Ben could only watch their companions being eaten by unidentified creatures. John in the orbital module received an order from the Ministry of Defense to abandon the two infected astronauts. John's insistence seemed to be Ben's last hope for returning to Earth safely. When the dock was about to be docked, the stones floating in the capsule seemed to appear like death. An out-of-control spaceship crashes into an orbital module, and a wonderful trip ends in a nightmare.
The film shows the fragility of human nature in the face of national interests, which is more touching than the national heroism that domestic films have been trying to express.

  • Deputy Secretary of Defense: [over comms] John, you are ordered to abort rescue immediately. Captain Anderson is a high contamination threat. You will not recover him.

    John Grey: You knew something was down there and you sent them anyway.

    Deputy Secretary of Defense: [over comms] DOD to Freedom, if you do not abort in T-minus 60 seconds, transmission will terminate. You will not receive an updated state vector. You will run out of life support package. You will not return home. You have 45 seconds to abort this rescue.

    John Grey: There's just a lot at stake here, you know? We're talkin' nation versus nation, and the race is still on. There's lots to discover out there, man.
