Adapted from James R. Hansen's book about Neil Armstrong, First Man chronicles the years leading up to Apollo 11. The film follows the astronaut from 1961 to 1969, tracing his NASA training through the Moon landing, while giving central prominence to his family life.

Damien Chazelle reunites with Ryan Gosling after La La Land, but he shifts gears dramatically with a space-set story that spotlights the preparation, the danger, and the human cost of the moon mission. Claire Foy portrays Janet Armstrong, Neil Armstrong’s wife, whose everyday life is woven through the risks of the space program.

The Ciné Tarmac screening gives the film a distinctive resonance: the Musée de l’Air et de l’Espace is organizing the event from July 3 to 5, 2026, featuring outdoor screenings on the runway and films tied to aviation, space, and the pioneering figures of exploration.
