First Man is a 2018 American biographical drama film directed by Damien Chazelle and written by Josh Singer. Based on the book "First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong" by James R. Hansen, the film stars Ryan Gosling, Claire Foy, Jason Clarke, Kyle Chandler, Corey Stoll, Ciarán Hinds, Christopher Abbott, Patrick Fugit, and Lukas Haas. The film had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival and was released by Universal Pictures. The film received critical praise, particularly regarding the direction, Gosling and Foy's performances, musical score, and the Moon landing sequence, although its choice to not depict the planting of the American flag on the lunar surface led critics and politicians from both political parties to debate over the film's stance on patriotism.
