"There Are Nazis On The Moon!!"

The new indie flick from Finland, "Iron Sky", is almost certainly destined for "Cult Film" status.

Naturally, they escaped in flying saucers and they headed straight for the dark side of the Moon. And now, seventy years later, the Moon Nazis are ready to try once more to conquer the earth.
