In the 1960s two CIA agents infiltrate NASA to look for a Soviet mole who may be stealing technological secrets from the Apollo moon-landing project.  They pose as documentary filmmakers, which gives them access to the public side of the Apollo program, but to get the real story they sneak into areas where they haven’t been invited.  What they find is worse than what they suspected.
