“Good Night Oppy” is the inspirational true story of the Mars rover Opportunity, sent for a 90-day mission but ending up on a 15-year groundbreaking journey that forged a remarkable bond between the robot and her humans millions of miles away. With unique access and archival footage, Ryan White’s engaging documentary puts special focus on the men and women who guided Oppy through extraterrestrial dust in a delicate, but inspired, balancing act that kept the rover exploring. Oppy's perseverance serves as a reminder that these machines are made of more than nuts and bolts, built on the hopes, dreams, and curiosity of our whole species.
