Footprints on the Moon (full title: Footprints on the Moon: Apollo 11) is a 1969 documentary film covering the flight of Apollo 11 from vehicle rollout to splashdown and recovery. It was directed by Bill Gibson, produced by Barry Coe, edited by Frank Roh, cinematographer (none of whom have any other credits listed on the IMDB), and is narrated by Wernher von Braun, with Pierre Jalbert doing additional voiceover as Jules Verne. It is largely assembled from a variety of NASA and other news footage, with montage scenes assembled from still images standing in where no motion picture footage exists. The score includes Philip Moody's Laguna Concerto, a short work for piano and orchestra.

Although Footprints on the Moon has the distinction of being the only contemporary theatrically released documentary of Apollo 11, it lay almost forgotten (except for an occasional showing on television) for decades, until it was finally released on DVD in early 2010, missing the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing by less than a year.
