Over deze film

A comedy, "The Dish" tells the true story of a group of Australian scientists manning a remote satellite dish who, much to NASA's concern, are the only hope for receiving the historic images of Man's first steps on the Moon. With help from a colorful cast of local characters, the Dish's crew struggles to overcome a series of mishaps to play a part in one of Mankind's greatest triumphs. An audience favorite at the 2000 Toronto Film Festival, "The Dish" stars Sam Niell ("Jurassic Park," "The Piano") and Patrick Warburton ("The Emperor's New Groove," TV's "Seinfeld").

This is a beautiful slice of time in an unextraordinary place where a few people make a decision be heroic and change the face of history. This movie is unassuming and charming and everything time I watch I feel elated and so very grateful that this story was told.

Sam Neil is very good in this very interesting side of the Apollo 11 mission that I never knew about. Roy Billing as the mayor is hilarious, and with all the other characters in the movie, makes this dramatic/comedy/historical movie a "must see" for people who like great cinema!!

Great film with accurate historical content, great for the family and lots of humor.
