Fly Me to the Moon is a 2024 American historical romantic comedy drama film directed by Greg Berlanti and written by Rose Gilroy, based on a story by Keenan Flynn and Bill Kirstein. The film stars Scarlett Johansson as Kelly Jones, a marketing specialist, and Channing Tatum as Cole Davis, a NASA launch director. Set against the backdrop of the Apollo 11 mission, the story follows Jones and Davis as she is tasked with creating a false moon landing in case his actual mission fails.

Premiering on July 8, 2024, at AMC Lincoln Square in New York City, the film was released in theaters on July 12, 2024. Originally planned for a streaming release on Apple TV+, it was moved to a theatrical release after positive early test screenings. The film received mixed reviews from critics, with its blend of romance and historical drama considered uneven. It grossed $42 million worldwide on a production budget of $100 million.
