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 funny and moving tale of Australia's part in the Apollo 11 moon mission. 'The Dish' is the story of the role played by the staff of the radio-telescope at Parkes in the middle of outback New South Wales, Australia as Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon.
Starring Sam Neill, Patrick Warburton, Roy Billing, Tom Long.

This is a lovely feel good movie about an historical event I was able to witness on Mums TV.

[@Splits-man]

What a coincidence. I just returned from a trip to see the dish yesterday! One of my all time favourite movies. It’s way way bigger than you might think. Well worth a visit.

love him with the boy "oh hydrogen, of course" he doesn't know what the kid's on about but he's supportive and trusts he's right

[@tawnydi]

A delightful movie. RIP Tom Long, a wonderful actor taken from us far too soon.

[@DocTinfoil]

Rob, you, Tom, and your wonderful team created THE most gentle, wonderful, heartfelt movie of our time♥The humor, the timely "innocence" of the characters, the pacing, editing, and Edmund Choi's wonderful score, make this simply a perfect movie!♥ I was stuck over in Wellington making Lord of the Rings. Otherwise I would have gladly raced back home to help on this wonderful "Historical Document". ...THIS was truly your greatest formula! Perhaps one more? Please?

All these people write is gold. I think I’m about the same age as some of them. So we would have been the children that knew, not only, all about dinosaurs, but also the Saturn V launch sequence. We consumed the information like it was sugary breakfast cereal. Didn’t get me anywhere, but look what they did with it. Brilliant.

One of my favourite films

4:16 The reflected firelight flickering in the glass as a visual echo of the rocket blast is a nice cinematic touch...

[@martinkuhn623]

Genius!!

Look up the story about how the one guy watching a sat sight got cooked like a turkey over a holiday

It will take Space X another 50 years to get to the moon.

[@nickbilske8140]

You will?

[@alimfuzzy]

@nickbilske8140 yes I will.

[@GerardHammond]

Nope troll. It'll happen in 24 months

[@genericchannelname5085]

@@GerardHammond sure it will!

[@UltraNoobian]

​@@GerardHammondI was thinking they meant another 50 years from the 1970s. Ala 2020s

One of the 4 australian overrated actors continually recycled.
