Footprints on the Moon (1969 film) Footprints on the Moon (1969 film) Footprints on the Moon (full title: Footprints on the Moon: Apollo 11) is a 1969 documentary film covering the flight of Apollo 11 from vehicle rollout to splashdown and recovery. It was directed by Bill Gibson and produced by Barry Coe, (neither of whom have any other credits listed on the IMDB), and is narrated by Wernher von Braun, with Pierre Jalbert doing additional voiceover as Jules Verne. It was edited by and edited by John F. Link Jr., who would later be nominated for his editing work on the 1988 film "Die Hard".
First on the Moon is a brief clip showing Kharlamov piloting the vehicle, presumably on final approach to the Moon. Following that is an equally brief panorama of a lunar landscape with the capsule or lander (it's unclear whether this was a direct ascent Moon landing) resting on the surface, apparently taken by Kharlamov during lunar EVA. Both scenes are shown as stills on the movie's cover. Then there is a short clip of the other cosmonauts walking through a hangar with the 1930s space program director, and the credits roll. The screenplay was written by Aleksandr Gonorovskiy and Ramil Yamaleyev, and is loosely
