The film focuses on the town of Parkes, which is chosen to host the Parkes Observatory, a radio telescope used to relay the television signals from the Apollo 11 mission to the moon. The town is initially skeptical of the project, as it is seen as a distraction from their daily lives. However, the townspeople eventually come to embrace the project and its importance to the world.
The film follows the people of Parkes as they prepare for the momentous event. The town’s mayor, Cliff Buxton (Sam Neill), is determined to make the project a success, and he is supported by the local radio station manager, Al Burnett (Kevin Harrington).
