As we have always feared, the Nazis have been hiding on the dark side of the moon since the end of WWII. Plotting their triumphant return to power, they have waited these many decades. When an American lunar mission happens upon the enormous, hidden Nazi fortress, it causes problems both on the moon and back on Earth.
In IRON SKY, much has changed since the Reich was booming on our planet, including an African American astronaut, a female President of the United States, and the UN transformed into a World Confederacy! The Fuhrer would be appalled! When a Nazi mission to Earth takes them to New York City, the real fun starts.
The best way to describe this movie would be to liken it to what Mel Brooks might have created in his prime. It lampoons racism, sexism, fascism, political idiocy, high fashion, etc., by being an utterly over the top satire thereof. Plus, it's very well made, in addition to being hysterically funny! The main characters are perfectly ridiculous, yet not annoyingly so. The acting / dialogue is mostly dead pan, making it far more effective than a more slapstick approach. The result is a crackpot sci-fi parody wrapped around a mega-spoof. Highly inventive and entertaining...
