Moonwalker

Overview

Moonwalker is a 1988 experimental anthology musical film featuring Michael Jackson. Instead of a single storyline, it showcases various short films that highlight Jackson's impact on music and his fans, including extended music videos from his 1987 album, Bad. The film is named after his iconic dance move, the moonwalk, which he initially called the backslide. It kicks off with a music video for "Man in the Mirror," followed by a montage of Jackson's career, a comedic take on "Bad" titled "Badder," and segments like "Speed Demon" and "Leave Me Alone." The film culminates in the "Smooth Criminal" sequence, where Jackson, as a heroic figure, rescues three children from the villainous Mr. Big, leading into a performance of "Come Together."
