SYNOPSIS

IRON SKY - A dark science fiction comedy about Nazis on the dark side of the Moon.

World War II did not end with complete defeat for the Nazis – some of them managed to utilise their secret technologies to flee to the dark side of the Moon.

There, deep within their swastika fortress, Schwarze Sonne, they have plotted the reconquest of the Earth for over 70 years. In 2018, the flagship of their space armada, the gigantic Götterdämmerung, is nearing completion, but when the next American crewed moon mission lands too close to the Nazi base for comfort, the plans are rushed forward.

A reconnaissance team is sent to the Earth to find out just how much they know about the Nazis. The bold expedition is headed by Klaus Adler, a Nazi officer down to his jackboots, and his fiancé Renate Richter, communications officer and earth specialist. Confusion sets in when the Earth is not run by Bolshevists and Communists like they had been taught, but something far more dangerous: rampant capitalism. The culture shock proves disastrous for the couple: Klaus doggedly continues down the road of Nazism, while Renate looks at the Earth and sees something worth saving behind all the commercialism.

However, this is but the beginning of what is to come: the Götterdämmerung war machine is finished, and when the Moon disgorges enough iron to fill the skies, the Third World War is mere moments away.

But, even here the history repeats itself: the Nazi plans stumble on their own feet as Earth launches it's counter attack, and Renate – bringing valuable help to the Earth forces – decides to turn against her own people and fight to save the blue planet from the Nazi invasion.
