"Moonfall" is a science fiction disaster film released in 2022. Directed by Roland Emmerich, the movie presents a scenario where the Moon begins to inexplicably fall towards Earth, leading to catastrophic consequences. As governments scramble to find a solution, a former astronaut (played by Halle Berry) teams up with a conspiracy theorist to prevent the impending doom.
Moonfall was a box office bomb, earning only $60 million against a $140 million budget. When you download illegally, you directly discourage studios from dubbing future films.
