PLOT SYNOPSIS


In the year 2021 the moon is in the process of being colonized, and this new frontier is attracting a diverse group of people.

Two such denizens of this rough and tumble lunar society are the notorious millionaire J. J. Hubbard and former-astronaut-turned-satellite-salvager Bill Kemp. When Hubbard hears of an asteroid made of pure Sapphire that is orbiting close to the moon, he hires Kemp to capture it and bring it down to the lunar surface.
Meanwhile a young woman arrives looking for her brother, a miner working a distant patch of moonscape. She convinces Kemp to try to learn whether her brother is still alive. In doing so, Kemp learns more than he would like about some of Hubbard's schemes.
All of the technology pictured in the film is essentially NASA Apollo-era vintage, complete with familiar-looking lunar landers and command modules.
