In 1967, four undercover CIA agents were sent to NASA posing as a documentary film crew. What they discovered led to one of the biggest conspiracies in American history.
In 1967, during the height of the Cold War, two young CIA agents (Matt Johnson and Owen Williams) go undercover at NASA to investigate a possible Russian mole. In disguise as documentary filmmakers, they tap phones and break into offices while purporting to learn more about the Apollo project. But when they end up uncovering a shocking NASA secret – and a major government cover-up – they decide to embark on a new mission that may put their own lives at risk.
Critic Reviews:
- Better as a tribute to the lost art of analog filmmaking and practical effects than a paranoid espionage thriller. – Flicks.co.nz
- “Operation Avalanche” is an inventive grab-bag of a film, a movie about making a movie that no one was supposed to know was a movie at all. – Arizona Republic
- Part mockumentary, party black comedy, part action-adventure and part cinematic dare, the movie is a bizarre, engrossing creation that will leave audiences either delighted or baffled, though never bored. – Globe and Mail
