Storyline
Sam Bell has a three year contract to work for Lunar Industries. For the contract's entire duration, he is the sole employee based at their lunar station. His primary job responsibility is to harvest and periodically rocket back to Earth supplies of helium-3, the current clean and abundant fuel used on Earth. There is no direct communication link available between the lunar station and Earth, so his only direct real-time interaction is with GERTY, the intelligent computer whose function is to attend to his day to day needs. With such little human contact and all of it indirect, he feels that three years is far too long to be so isolated; he knows he is beginning to hallucinate as the end of his three years approaches. All he wants is to return to Earth to be with his wife Tess and their infant daughter Eve, who was born just prior to his leaving for this job. With two weeks to go, he gets into an accident at one of the mechanical harvesters and is rendered unconscious... Written by Huggo

Trivia
The film makes several references to Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. GERTY looks and sounds similar to HAL 9000. They also have a similar dot: HAL's is red and GERTY's is blue. This film choreographs scenes in space to classical music, just as Stanley Kubrick did. See more »Goofs
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When Sam makes a phone call to his daughter, there is no noticeable lag time between responses. Radio transmissions take about three seconds to make the half million mile round trip from Earth to moon or vice versa. However, sci-fi future technology could account for transmissions without lag.
