Pax Americana and the Weaponization of Space(2009)

Star Wars is no longer science fiction

Pax Americana and the Weaponization of Space is a documentary that examines the real-world militarization of Earth's orbit. Once confined to science fiction, the prospect of space-based weapons systems is now technological reality. The film traces the ambition from Nazi rocket scientist Wernher von Braun through his transformation into a NASA director, showing how the dream of controlling Earth from above has persisted across every US administration since World War II. Today, a massive American space industry thrives while nations compete for orbital advantage. Using archival footage and unprecedented access to US Air Force Space Command, the film investigates urgent questions: Are weapons already in orbit? Can international treaties prevent space militarization? The documentary features interviews with military generals, policy analysts, politicians, diplomats, peace activists, and defense hawks, offering a comprehensive look at the stakes and players shaping humanity's future in space.
