A low-budget sci-fi cult favorite, Moontrap follows a NASA astronaut (Bruce Campbell) who returns from a lunar mission with evidence of something alien left behind on the Moon. When a mysterious ancient spacecraft is discovered, a follow-up mission uncovers dormant robotic lifeforms that begin reactivating and attacking the crew. As the situation escalates, humanity faces a potential extraterrestrial threat hidden on the Moon for thousands of years.
Blending cold war-era sci-fi paranoia with mechanical alien horror, the film is best known today as an early genre entry for Bruce Campbell and for its “lost VHS sci-fi” aesthetic.
