The Dish
Saturday AUGUST 19th
Houston's other problem!
It's July 1969, Apollo 11's astronauts will walk on the moon and a huge satellite dish outside an Australian sheep farming town has been chosen to beam the live TV footage globally.
The whole world is depending on scientist Cliff Buxton (Sam Neill), who must steer the eccentric crew who man the telescope through a sea of mishaps and disasters that threatens to spoli the small town's finest hour.
Watching over them is a by-the-book NASA representative who can't quite understand their quirky working methods.
A comical culture clash erupts in this effortlessly funny tale of how history's biggest televised event was almost cancelled.
The Dish is a warm-hearted and hilarious comedy based on a true story of what the world didn't see.
