First Man is based on the book First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong by James R. Hansen, and explores the years leading up to the Apollo 11 mission in 1969 through the prism of the astronauts, including Armstrong, Ed White (Jason Clarke), Buzz Aldrin (Corey Stoll) and Elliot See (Patrick Fugit), and their wives, including Janet Armstrong (Claire Foy), Pat White (Olivia Hamilton) and Marilyn See (Kris Swanberg).
