Beyond the Stars is a 1989 American science fiction film written and directed by David Saperstein and starring Martin Sheen, Christian Slater, Sharon Stone, Olivia d'Abo and F. Murray Abraham.
This science fiction drama centers around Eric (Chirstian Slater), teenage son of a computer scientist who worked for the Apollo program which sent the first humans to the moon. Eric, determined to become an astronaut himself one day, befriends Paul Andrews (Martin Sheen), the thirteenth man on the moon. Paul is avoided by other astronauts nowadays, because he was very rude and rebuffing when he returned from space. Only slowly Eric learns, that he discovered something during his excursion on the moon, that he keeps as a secret.
The movie was filmed in and around Huntsville, Alabama, and the U.S. Space and Rocket Center.
