Moon

Sam Bell has a three year contract to work for Lunar Industries. For the contract's entire duration, he is the sole employee based at their lunar stat...ion. His primary job responsibility is to harvest and periodically rocket back to Earth supplies of helium-3, the current clean and abundant fuel used on Earth. There is no direct communication link available between the lunar station and Earth, so his only direct real-time interaction is with GERTY, the intelligent computer whose function is to attend to his day to day needs. With such little human contact and all of it indirect, he feels that three years is far too long to be so isolated; he knows he is beginning to hallucinate as the end of his three years approaches. All he wants is to return to Earth to be with his wife Tess and their infant daughter Eve, who was born just prior to his leaving for this job. With two weeks to go, he gets into an accident at one of the mechanical harvesters and is rendered unconscious. Injured, he awakens back at the station in the infirmary, he assumes assisted by GERTY. GERTY tells him that a rescue team named Eliza will come to the station to clean up the aftermath of the accident. After his recuperation, he takes an unauthorized trip back to the broken harvester, where he makes an unexpected discovery. Because of his find, he begins to doubt his sanity, then his true identity, then the company and GERTY's willingness to do what is best for him. Because of his resulting beliefs, his sole mission becomes how to get back to Earth on his own. Show More

Moon (2009) follows the story of Sam Bell, the lone employee stationed at a lunar base owned by Lunar Industries. Sam's main task is to extract supplies of helium-3, a clean and abundant fuel, from the moon and send it back to Earth. With no direct communication to Earth, Sam's only companion is an intelligent computer called GERTY.

As the end of his three-year contract approaches, Sam starts experiencing hallucinations and longs to be reunited with his wife Tess and their daughter Eve. However, when an accident leaves him unconscious, Sam wakes up to find himself in the base's infirmary, with GERTY informing him that a rescue team called Eliza will soon arrive.

After recovering, Sam secretly ventures out to the damaged harvester and makes a shocking discovery that raises doubts about his sanity, identity, and the motives of the company and GERTY. Fueled by his revelations, Sam becomes driven to find his way back to Earth without relying on others.
