Operation Avalanche

SINOPSIS

Operation Avalanche is a 2016 found footage conspiracy thriller film directed by Matt Johnson, who co-wrote it with Josh Boles. Set in the late 1960s, Johnson and Owen Williams star as CIA agents who infiltrate NASA to expose a suspected KGB mole, only to become embroiled in a conspiracy to fake the Apollo 11 moon landing. Johnson and producer Matthew Miller conceived of the project shortly after the release of their 2013 film The Dirties; neither believed that the moon landing was faked but found it appealing subject matter for a faux documentary. Principal photography took place in Toronto, Houston and Washington, D.C.. Operation Avalanche was largely improvised and combines newly shot footage with archival material to emulate the appearance of a 1960s documentary. Ad
