GOOD NIGHT OPPY

One can’t help but fall in love with Opportunity, the NASA rover sent to Mars for a 90-day mission but ending up surviving for an astonishing 15 years. This inspirational, true story follows Opportunity (lovingly nicknamed Oppy) on her groundbreaking journey on Mars and the remarkable bond forged between a robot and the NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s team of scientists and engineers who designed and built her – and then tracked her every step from millions of miles away. Their dedication and enthusiasm are contagious. Oppy was the second of the two rovers launched in 2003 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station to explore the Martian terrain for signs of life and ancient water. Her sister rover, named Spirit, went first -- with Oppy following less a month later. Alongside the original scientists who dared to dream and the next generation they inspired, Good Night Oppy takes you on an unforgettable journey. Director Ryan White (Assassins, The Case Against 8), expertly combines images of Oppy navigating the wild terrain of the Red Planet with the remarkable pictures she sent home. Original animations produced by International Light and Magic of Star Wars fame.
