Moonwalker (noto anche come Michael Jackson's Moonwalker) è un lungometraggio e film antologico del 1988 con protagonista Michael Jackson, diretto da e . Il film è una raccolta di brevi filmati, molti dei quali sono video musicali tratti dall'album Bad di Jackson, tra i quali il pezzo principale è il cortometraggio che accompagna la canzone Smooth Criminal diretto da Colin Chilvers. Il titolo del film deriva dal Moonwalk (che letteralmente significa "camminata lunare") passo di danza reso famoso in tutto il mondo dallo stesso Jackson e, pertanto, il titolo del film si può tradurre come "camminatore lunare" o "colui che cammina sulla Luna". Nel film Jackson, come in altre occasioni, non rinuncia ad avere i migliori effetti speciali disponibili all'epoca (come ad esempio le animazioni per trasformarlo in robot). Moonwalker ebbe un buon successo al cinema dove a livello mondiale si stima abbia incassato circa 67 milioni di dollari dell'epoca, in Italia si piazzò al numero 24 della classifica dei 100 migliori incassi della stagione cinematografica 1988/1989, ma anche in home video dove si calcola che abbia venduto, solo negli Stati Uniti, oltre 800 000 esemplari in VHS in soli 3 mesi.
