| Summary |
Nominated for Best Film at the **Australian Film Institute** and Winner of Best Original Screenplay at the **Film Critics Circle of Australia Awards**, THE DISH follows the true story of a group of eccentric scientists who are responsible for manning a satellite dish inauspiciously located on a remote Australian sheep farm. Much to NASA's alarm, the unconventional Aussie team - led by Cliff Buxton - are the world's only hope for receiving the historic images of man's first steps on the moon. With help from the colorful cast of local characters, the crew struggles to overcome a series of mishaps. "*Both an entertaining, instructive jaunt down memory lane and also, for the younger generation, a most palatable lesson in modern history.*" - Susan Stark, ***Detroit News*** |
