“The Moonwalkers” guided by Tom Hanks himself
Experience the Moon through the original voice of Tom Hanks. Drawing on his iconic roles in Apollo 13, From the Earth to the Moon, and Magnificent Desolation, Hanks turns his passion for space into an immersive journey. Co-written with Christopher Riley, the show blends NASA footage, restored Apollo photos, and candid astronaut interviews to reveal the incredible stories of past lunar missions and a glimpse of the future Artemis program – mixing documentary accuracy with emotional storytelling.
The journey continues as the entire space comes alive. Original NASA footage and breathtaking images from Andy Saunders’ Apollo Remastered transform Lightroom’s vast hall into a 360° immersive voyage to the lunar surface, brought to life by co-directors Nick Corrigan and Lysander Ashton of 59 Productions. Walls and floors become living projections – rockets blast off, craters form, and planets drift around you – creating the sensation of walking on the Moon and reaching for the stars.
