It's [[TheSixties 1969]] and America and the Soviet Union's [[UsefulNotes/TheSpaceRace space race]] is in full swing. CIA agent Kidman (Perlamn) is commissioned by the US government to recruit director Creator/StanleyKubrick's help in filming a fake moon landing for broadcast, just in case the Apollo 11 spaceship is unable to actually land on the moon. Kidman begrudgingly takes the job and heads to England. Meanwhile, Jonny (Grint) is a struggling rock band manager who is desperate to get his career on a roll, not helped by the fact that he owes some bad gangsters a lot of money. Jonny goes to a rich friend of his (a talent agent) for some help, and due to a mix-up, he is given the briefcase full of money meant for Kubrick. When Kidman realizes his mistake, he goes after Jonny and his roommate Leon (Sheehan), and they're forced to work together to try to create a fake moon landing film, evade the violent gangs of London, and indulge in some hazy benefits of 60's counterculture.
