Plot summary
Capt. Richmond Talbot of the Air Force is chosen for the first crewed flight around the Moon, a mission he volunteered for by mistake. He is ordered to keep the mission secret, even from his family during an upcoming leave. On the way to visit them, a mysterious young woman named Lyrae approaches him and warns that his spacecraft may have defects. Talbot assumes she is a spy, runs off, and calls the Air Force, which brings him home and assigns a federal security detail to guard him. The guards stay close, yet Lyrae still reaches him, and nobody knows who she is or where she comes from.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Moon Pilot (1962)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- The FBI protested to Walt Disney about the film's portrayal of the Bureau, objecting that an FBI agent guarding an astronaut was not a Bureau function. Disney changed the character into a Federal Security Officer, and the FBI still complained the agent was shown in a slapstick, uncomplimentary manner after release.
- Sally Field made her film debut in Moon Pilot as one of the beatnik girls in the lineup, the one in the oversized sweater, dark hair, and glasses.
