Armstrong and Aldrin entered the Lunar Module preparing for descent to the lunar surface. Twenty four hours later the two spacecraft were undocked and the Command and Service Modules separated from the Lunar Module.On the 20th July 1969, after four days in Space, the now legendary astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first man to set foot on the surface of the moon, uttering the unforgettable and now famous statement, 'One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind'.

Advantages: Brilliant Cast Disadvantages: Not as 'polished' as it could be
Based on Jack Higgins bestselling World War 2 novel this film (released in 1976) follows the story of a secret mission by a small group of German Paratroopers whose mission was to drop into England and kidnapp Winston Churchill.

The EagleHasLanded (1977)
It is 1943, and Mussillini has just been rescued from a mountain top prison in Italy by a daring German commando raid. Now Hitler wants Winston Churchill kidnapped. From the pen of Jack Higgins, the film puts you straight into the depths of Nazi Germany and the story of how Colonel Kurt Steiner (MIchael Caine), Liam Delvin (Donald Sutherland) and 15 German paratroopers desend into the quiet English countryside to carry out their do or die mission.
The acting performances are first class with Robert Duval as Colonel Max Radl, a battle scarred survivor of the Russian Front that is now the brains behind the mission. A young Jenny Agutter, who provides the love interest for Donald Sutherland as a young nieve country girl.
There is a classic casting of Larry Hagman as Colonel Pitts and his fellow American ...
In July 1969, the historic APOLLO 11 space flight accomplished its mission. It launched from Kennedy Space Centre on July 16th, and four days later landed on the surface on the moon. Once the craft touched down, Neil Armstrong secured his place as the most famous astronaut in history when he became the first man to step foot on another celestial body, proclaiming that it was ‘one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.’ The greatest space mission ever undertaken can be relived in the documentary APOLLO 11.
