不简单的任务 (2000)
The Dish
在澳大利亚新南威尔士州的一个名叫帕克斯(Parkes)的乡村小镇上，一个足球场大小的庞然大物，重约1000吨的无线电望远镜，悄无声息地座落在一个偏僻的牧羊场上。1969年，美国国家航空和宇宙航行局(NASA)准备使用澳大利亚的望远镜----这个南半球功率最大的接收天线，作为其在加利福尼亚州戈德斯通基地主接收天线的备份。但是“阿波罗11号”飞行计划最后一分钟的变故使得戈德斯通基地的望远镜失去了作用，因此澳大利亚人的卫星接收天线----"碟子"----成了美国国家航空和宇宙航行局向全世界转播人类在月球上迈出第一步的唯一希望……

The Dish is a 2000 Australian historical comedy-drama film that tells the story of the Parkes Observatory's role in relaying live television of humanity's first steps on the Moon during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969. It was the top-grossing Australian film in 2000.
Production
Much of the film was shot on location; the "cricket match" and "hayride" scenes were shot on the real dish and researchers often postponed experiments to position the dish for photography. The set reconstructing the 1969 control room was extremely accurate, down to some details as small as ashtrays. Some of the "props" were in fact original NASA equipment used during the Apollo 11 landing, left behind in Australia as they were too heavy (i.e.
The Dish was written by Santo Cilauro, Tom Gleisner, Jane Kennedy and Rob Sitch, and directed by Sitch.
