Plot Apollo 18 is a found footage-style film set in December 1974, about a post-

Apollo 17 mission to the Moon that takes on a premise ofwhy NASA discontinued the Apollo moon missions. The plot involves a

government cover up of the Apollo 18 mission after parasitic life

forms on the Moon discovered the crew and began to attack them. Much of

the back-story remains unknown; however, the movie posters in English

indicate the Russian KGB role in Soviet lunar conspiracy and the Russian

movie posters show inscriptions in English suggesting an American

government cover up in lunar conspiracy. In the trailer, an American

astronaut finds a dead cosmonaut and a Soviet LK Lander on the lunar surface
