Moonwalker est un film musical et fantastique réalisé par Jerry Kramer et Colin Chilvers, sorti en 1988. Le titre vient du « moonwalk » (« pas lunaire »), un pas de danse popularisé par Michael Jackson. « Moonwalker » désigne la personne effectuant ce pas de danse. Le film se déroule en deux parties : tout d'abord un récapitulatif de la carrière de l'artiste avec de nombreux clips et extraits musicaux, puis un moyen métrage. Sorti en pleine promotion de l'album Bad (1987), Moonwalker contient de nombreux titres venant de cet album : Man in the Mirror, The Way You Make Me Feel, Dirty Diana, Smooth Criminal, Leave Me Alone, Speed Demon, ainsi qu'une parodie de Bad.
