Lucas Bridges finds himself stranded on a distant planet. Haunted by longing for his husband back home, Lucas drinks himself to sleep while spending his days hiking to call for help on a radio with a dying battery. After a brush with death Lucas goes out for another call where he makes an unexpected connection with a man (Joe) stranded on the moon orbiting his planet. Desperate for camaraderie, sparks fly and they talk for hours without realizing Lucas' battery is nearly empty. Joe offers an attempt to get to the planet so they don't have to be so alone. Lucas' thoughts flash to his husband and he's brought to a crossroads - hold on to what he had or embrace where he is right now.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
