In many movies and media that depict real-life spacecraft, or near-future spacecraft that are logical progressions of real-life spacecraft, they show the abort handle or button or switch. What would happen in real-life if this handle was pulled during any given moment during space flight; takeoff, orbit, halfway to the moon, etc.?

Depends on what the abort procedure is… During launch is the only real time it can save you, at that point the Lau Ch escape system would fire, pull you off the top of the rocket and away and then parachute down, in movies tho it can do anything needed for an abort like activating livevessles or return to home ect
