Countdown (1968) follows the intense preparations of the Apollo 3 crew as they train for their mission. When intelligence reveals that the Russians are planning a moon landing, the Americans scramble to launch their own mission. They devise an impromptu plan to send a man to the moon using an older Gemini spacecraft. Astronaut Lee is selected for the mission instead of Chiz, who was originally designated, because Lee lacks military ties. With just three weeks to prepare, Lee must undergo rigorous training. The mission involves Lee staying on the moon in a shelter for approximately a year until an Apollo spacecraft can retrieve him. However, the Russians launch their mission two days earlier than anticipated, adding an unexpected layer of urgency and competition.
