When NASA erroneously makes the lunar module for its Apollo 11 mission a little too small for a grown person, its agents approach nine-year-old Stanley (Milo Coy) outside of his elementary school with an offer to test the miniature technology before it gets launched to space. Stanley agrees, and he becomes a vital part of the program’s success. Years later, an older Stanley (Jack Black) fondly looks back at his memories of the summer in 1969. Written and directed by Richard Linklater.
