Have you been wishing that someone made a sci-fi movie about Nazi’s living on the dark side of the moon who launch an attack on Earth, while a president that looks suspiciously like Sarah Palin welcomes the chance for war in order to secure her reelection? Well, your prayers have been answered. That movie is Iron Sky and it just premiered its new trailer at the Berlin International Film Festival. The film opens in Finland on April 4th, followed by Germany on April 5th. Not lucky enough to live in either location? Then head over to the film’s website where you can sign up to demand the film in your city. Check out the full synopsis and trailer below.
In the last moments of World War II, a secret Nazi space program evaded destruction by fleeing to the Dark Side of the Moon. During 70 years of utter secrecy, the Nazis construct a gigantic space fortress with a massive armada of flying saucers.
When American astronaut James Washington (Christopher Kirby) puts down his Lunar Lander a bit too close to the secret Nazi base, the Moon Führer (Udo Kier) decides the glorious moment of retaking the Earth has arrived sooner than expected. Washington claims the mission is just a publicity stunt for the President of the United States (Stephanie Paul), but what else could the man be but a scout for the imminent attack by Earth forces? The Fourth Reich must act!
Two Nazi officers, ruthless Klaus Adler (Götz Otto) and idealistic Renate Richter (Julia Dietze), travel to Earth to prepare the invasion. In the end when the Moon Nazi UFO armada darkens the skies, ready to strike at the unprepared Earth, every man, woman and nation alike, must re-evaluate their priorities.
