Iron Sky 1 [UPDATED]

Iron Sky is a 2012 Finnish science fiction film directed by Timo Vuorensola. The movie is set in the year 2517, 100 years after a failed invasion of Earth by an alien empire called the “Chimichangas.” The story takes place in an alternate history where the Nazis, after being defeated in World War II, fled to the dark side of the Moon and established a base called “Schwarze Sonne” (Black Sun). From there, they planned their revenge against the Earth.

Iron Sky was a passion project for director Timo Vuorensola, who had been fascinated by science fiction and the idea of an alternate history. The film was produced on a budget of $7.5 million, which is relatively low for a science fiction movie. Despite the limited budget, the film’s special effects and production design are impressive, with a blend of practical and CGI effects. iron sky 1
