First on the Moon (2005) delves into a captivating narrative that begins in the spring of 1938, when a mysterious, fiery UFO, later dubbed the "Chilean Sphere," crashed in the mountains of northern Chile. A film crew's investigation into this event uncovers a startling revelation: before the onset of World War II, the USSR had secretly developed an ambitious space program. According to the film, Soviet scientists and military leaders successfully launched the first spacecraft more than two decades before Yuri Gagarin's historic flight in 1961. The movie explores the daily lives, heroic acts, and tragic fates of the pioneering group of Soviet cosmonauts, offering a unique blend of drama and historical intrigue. It stands out as the first Russian film in the rare genre of 'mockumentary' or 'documentary fiction.'
