Movie Synopsis:

The conquest of Earth from space is a staple of science-fiction.

In reality, technology now exists to weaponize space.

With unprecedented access to present and former US military personnel and insights from space-policy hawks, activists, and analysts, this elegant, shrewd, feature documentary explores our pivotal moment in history.

Today while many nations seek space peace treaties the US military pursues a doctrine of 'Full Spectrum Dominance' that aims to control all arenas of war – land, sea, air, and space.

The counter-strategy of reviving a super power arms race invites catastrophe: the destruction of vital civilian satellites and nuclear war.

Will we bring war machines to space or keep space weapons-free?
