Capture the Flag

Synopsis: Mike Goldwing, a plucky, determined 12-year old boy, is the son and grandson of NASA astronauts. His grandfather Frank, a once revered, but now forgotten retired astronaut, lives his days isolated from his family after missing out on his big chance to fly to the moon with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin as a part of the Apollo XI mission. When an eccentric billionaire sets an evil plan to fly to the moon, steal the moon's vast mineral resources, and destroy the American flag planted by the Apollo XI team, Mike embarks on a magnificent adventure as a stowaway on the space shuttle. Accompanied by his grandfather, best friends Amy and Marty, and a clever chameleon, Mike blasts off to the moon to capture the flag and reunite his family.

"It is an honor...

and a privilege to be here today

on behalf of

all peaceful men

from every nation in the world".

Come on, Mike, pass!

Over here, dude!

No way, man!

Hey! Did you see that?

She looked at me!

Focus, guys!

You're so basic...

Wake up, Amy!

We gotta get the flag back!

Calm down, I'm on it!

Marty, go and help her!

"No problemo"!

Time to try my Super Speed!

Isn't that a lawn mower?

It was!

Now it's the Marty-Turbo...

Oh!

Yeah!

Dude! You're going the wrong way!

Well done, Amy!

Hey, Amy!

Here!

Let me help! I'm on my own!

Amy! It's me, Marty!

OK... Ah!

Ah, ouch... ah!

Oh... Yeah! Yeah! I've got the flag!

Look out, Marty!

Oh... Oh!

'Sup, loser?

Ready to lose?

Not this time...

Awesome, man! Bring it to our base!

I'll go under the docks!

Yeah! The Moneyball move!

Do it! Do it!

What...?! Don't listen to Carrothead,

it's too dangerous!

Moneyball... here I go!

He's dodging all of them like a boss!

Ouch!

Oh...

Right in the face.

That was awesome!

If you'd achieved

the Moneyball,

I'd have put it on the school blog,

on the cover, for real!

If he'd done it he'd now be

dating the blonde girl,

but miracles don't exist!

... But we were close.

That's the problem, man.

We're always close...

instead of there.

Bye, losers!

What's that dude got

that I don't?

You mean besides being hot, having

muscles and having won three

surf contests?

Ouch, that hurts!

Ha, ha! So funny...

Hey, Igor! What's up, little guy?

Did you miss me

you little Godzilla?

How well did you see us with

your new Marty-Glasses? They're cool, huh?

He so couldn't live without you...

I know, we're thick as thieves.

He's always by my side.

Argh! Marty-Parachute!

Marty-Parachute!

I'm heading back, guys. We're

celebrating my dad's birthday

and my mom wants my grandfather

to come for dinner.

Cheer up, it's your grandfather!

You obviously don't know

the old geezer.

Er... good luck!

They delayed the mission

until 2022!

I've been training and trying

more space suits

than a model, for nothing!

Honey, it's your birthday.

Try to enjoy

the rest of the day.

Hey buddy, how did you do

at the beach? Did you capture

the flag?

No, I fell. Again...

Mike's a loser, Mike's a...

Shut up, you brat.

Is Grandpa Frank really

coming to have dinner this time?

Don't get too excited.

Scott?

Uh... I'll wait in the car.

Honey...

You're wasting your time!

I see you are as stubborn

as your father.

Three, two, one...

Oh!

Yeah!

That was awesome!

Is that Grandpa?

I'm alright,

I'm alright!

He's not coming.

So there won't be a cake?

That's too bad...

Of course we'll have a cake, ladybug.

Yeah!

Cake, cake, yes!

If granpa doesn't want to see us,

why you still try?

Because I promised you grandma Rose

that I would do anything I could

to get them to make peace.

So that we could be a family again.

But... if Grandpa doesn't want to,

why can't we just leave him alone?

Oh, Mike, never forget this:

your grandfather is

part of this family.

And there's nothing more important

than family.

That's why we can't

give up, alright?

"His grandfather

reinvented the oil industry!"

"His father was the great

visionary of nuclear energy!"

"And today Richard Carson III owns

the biggest energy empire in the world!"

Ladies and gentlemen,

let's welcome Richard Carson

with a big round of applause!

Yeah!

How can that guy

be on TV?

He owns the channel.

What's up babe?

Looking good!

I love you, Carson!

Have it, baby!

Ah!

Oh!

Mr. Carson?

Yeah!

Yeah! Yeah!

Mr. Carson...

Mr. Carson, you were going to

make an announcement.

Of course.

Let's cut to chase.

Did you know that 50%

of the world population

think that men never set foot

on the Moon?

Oh, come on, what's it with this guy?

Yes, there are all kinds of

conspiracy theories

The Moon.

My father's biggest dream.

He offered part of his fortune

to go.

But NASA refused.

My father,

a man that had everything,

died not having been able

to achieve his biggest dream.

Unfair!

Well, such a mission

requires well-prepared astronauts

, doesn't it?

No! That was their excuse!

But today I'm going to reveal

the truth.

The whole world will know

that the Space Race

was nothing but a big, fat... lie!

"It's an honor...

and a priviledge

to be here today on behalf of

all peaceful men..."

"Ouch!".

"Cut!".

"I want that guy out

right now!"

"Even a trained monkey could do it

much better! I said "cut"!"

Ha! I knew it!

What?! That was fake!

Yeah, right! And how do you know that,

know-it-all?

What are you talking about, idi...?!

- Scott, the children...

And why doesn't NASA

go back to the Moon

and prove that guy's

a liar?

I wish we could, but we don't have

rockets prepared for that now.

The Space Race finished

years ago.

Wow, your father would be

very proud of what you found.

Daddy...

was my everything...

When he died, I asked for his ashes

to be merged with this diamond...

so that he would always

be with me...

And I swore that I would do

everything in my power to honor his memory.

Aw...

Unfair!

It's time to end this fraud!

I, Richard Carson III, will be

the first man to set foot...

on the Moon!

Look, daddy, he does have a rocket!

- Tess!

Ha! That guy is awesome!

That's for you, dad!

Nonsense!

How can they believe that presumptuous fraud?
