In 1959, at the height of the Cold War, the CIA carried out one of its boldest covert missions—Operation Lunik. During a Soviet space exhibition in Mexico City, American intelligence agents, with help from Mexican operatives, secretly seized a Luna 2 moon probe overnight. They disassembled it, photographed the internal technology, and reassembled it flawlessly—all without the Soviets ever realizing.

This documentary uses declassified CIA files, expert interviews, and Cold War analysis to tell the incredible true story of how this mission gave the U.S. a crucial advantage in the early space race.

No fluff, no dramatization—just solid historical documentary storytelling.
