Coworkers Ivan, John, Melina, and Pierre-Paul are employed on Luna Three, a station on the moon. When they aren’t engaged in their respective occupations, the four friends make amateur revisionist films based on well-known historical events, such as the prevention of the assassination of John Lennon and the rescue of the Iranian hostages. John argues that these pivotal moments in history were defined by great leaders and that without these heroes, history would be completely different. The argument comes up when reviewing the footage for their current project, which is a film depicting the rescue of the hostages from the embassy in Tehran. John, playing the Colonel who lead the charge against the odds, tells Ivan that he ought to stop undermining the Colonel’s individual heroism. Ivan, who is directing, is unpersuaded by John’s insistence that a single individual is responsible for every major historical event. Instead, he favors the idea that, along with coincidence, small acts of kindness and generosity lead to the most important turning points in history. Firm in his position, he insists they reshoot the rescue scene to have less focus on the Colonel. In the middle of the reshoot, John is suddenly trapped under a piece of plywood; a meteor has struck the warehouse they use for filming, creating a breach through which warmth and oxygen are rapidly escaping. As John is about to leave the warehouse, he remembers Melina who was assigned a hostage role and is likely still stuck in a room on set. He turns back and manages to grab her but only makes it a few steps before he falls and blacks out. John wakes up in the station hospital to find that Melina is unharmed. His friends surround him and commend him for his heroic efforts, good-naturedly ribbing him about how he has to accept Ivan’s argument now. As an ordinary person, John has just changed the course of history. He holds firm to his stance, though, saying that he wasn’t really a hero; he was just acting like one.
