The Dish

Comedic true story about a group of eccentric Australian scientists manning a remote satellite dish who, much to NASA's alarm, are the only hope for receiving the historic images of man's first steps on the moon. While the crew frantically prepares for the big moment, relaying the footage to televisions across the world, the people of Parkes celebrate their part in this momentous historical event.
One of the most critically and commercially successful films ever to come out of Australia, THE DISH is a rousing, feel-good movie that succeeds both because of its perfectly formed characters and because of a heartwarming tone that illustrates that working for a common goal is the highest calling in life.
