The Dish

1h 40m Comedy 2000

A group of Australian scientists manning a remote satellite dish are the only hope for receiving the historic images of Man's first steps on the Moon.

It is a date that will be remembered for all time. July 20 1969 – the day man first set foot on the moon. That one shining moment was witnessed by a television audience of six hundred million people across the globe. Remarkably, those immortal images came via a “dish” in outback Australia. It may have been one small step for man, but for a handful of Aussie scientists, it was a giant leap. And one that almost didn’t happen….. Based on an amazing true story, The Dish tells the funny and moving tale of Australia’s part in the Apollo 11 moon mission.
