SpaceX Demo-2. From Free Solo directors. First US crewed launch since 2011.
Netflix's film follows SpaceX's journey from early Falcon 1 failures to the historic Demo-2 mission — the first crewed orbital launch from American soil since the Space Shuttle retired in 2011. Directors Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin (of Free Solo fame) had unprecedented access to Elon Musk, astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley, and SpaceX engineers. The footage of Falcon 9 boosters landing is cinema-quality. Whatever you think of Musk, the film captures the genuine tension and triumph of a private company doing what only governments had done before.
