Summary
Based on a true story of how the biggest television event in history was almost not televised. Apollo 11's landing on the moon was set to be televised around the globe, but right before landing, the 1,000 ton satellite dish located in a tiny Australian town flatlined. An unconventional Aussie crew and a by-the-book NASA supervisor had to work together against the clock to fix the dish before the landing.
