[edit] Plot summary
Iron Sky is a deliberate thematic throwback, a modern implementation of once-popular science fiction tropes that have fallen into disuse, including Nazis in space.
As World War II comes to an end in 1945, Hans Kammler and other German scientists make a breakthrough in anti-gravity research. Nazi spaceships are sent to the dark side (actually the far side) of the Moon to found the military base Schwarze Sonne (Black Sun). Their plan is to build a powerful fleet and return to conquer Earth. The film is set in the year 2018 when their descendants finally return.
On May 6, 2008, the film's official website released more detailed information on the storyline.[2]
[edit] Production
After the success of Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning, the same crew began formulating ideas about a new science-fiction motion picture. Production began in early 2006, but currently no further information about release schedules is given.[3]
The teaser trailer was released on May 6, 2008 with a completely re-vamped Iron Sky Website.[4]
