Way... Way Out (1966)

In the not too distant future of 1989, the moon has become the new frontier of international rivalry. The Americans and Russians, each possess a two-person moon base, creating a celestial Cold War. The Americans, however, are grappling with a peculiar problem - their all-male astronaut teams are losing their sanity in the lunar isolation. The unspoken assumption of sustaining morality by sending only men to the moon is backfiring, and a solution is needed urgently. Contrastingly, the Russians, unburdened by such moral nuances, maintain their sanity with a mixed-gender team, proving that a touch of earth-bound normalcy can alleviate the lunar lunacy. Taking a leaf from their rivals' book, the Americans decide to send a male and female astronaut pair to the moon. However, the American government, in a bid to uphold their moral standards, insists that the duo must marry, transforming this mission into an unconventional honeymoon. The movie orbits around this unique marriage of convenience, exploring the twists and turns that unfold as they acclimate to their new environment. Their interactions with the Russians, who have a knack for dropping by unannounced, add another layer of complexity to their already complicated lunar life. The film cleverly navigates through the intricacies of this space-age relationship, creating an engaging narrative that blends humor, romance, and political commentary. In the vastness of space, Way... Way Out reminds us of the universality of human connections and the absurdities of societal norms.
