Moonshot, Condor’s futuristic film that premieres on HBO Max on March 31, follows Sophie, a university student who’s navigating her own scientific aspirations with a long-distance relationship — as in very long-distance. Her boyfriend Calvin (Mason Gooding) and his family are currently living and working on a human-inhabited Mars. Back on Earth, Sophie meets Walt (Cole Sprouse), a love-sick barista with aspirations to travel to the formerly-desolate planet by any means necessary. The pair end up traveling to Mars together, and what follows is the classic semi-foes to lovers arc — just on a spaceship. But, the romance isn’t really the point. More than a classic romcom, the film’s real message is about prioritizing yourself, and that’s a universal lesson that transcends galaxies.
