One hint, 6 chances, and a new movie to guess every day
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.
"Just like the fun 'Moonwalkers: Rumo à Lua', the fun 'Operation Avalanche' also talks about the conspiracy theory that claims the man's landing on the Moon is a total hoax. Here, director Matt Johnson tells the story of two CIA agents who, by accident, discover the Americans' plans to fake the trip to the Moon. From then on, they get into an avalanche of theories, bizarre moments and small details that seem to prove such theory. The funniest thing is that the filmmaker - who also acts in the movie - used a real guerrilla strategy to make the film. First, he lied to NASA, saying he was making a documentary about Apollo 11. Only then did he get permission to film inside the agency. Inside, most of the scenes were improvised and relied on the filmmaker's own theories. Oh, and do you know the worn-out atmosphere of the movie? The director, who shot the feature film in digital format, scratched the film on the ground. Thus, 'Operation Avalanche' ended up getting the grainy look. Bizarre."
