With $1 million in U.S. aid, a Soviet rocket, fuel made from local wine and stabilizers made from shower heads, the world's tiniest country, the Duchy of Grand Fenwick, launches a manned flight to the moon. A daft English comedy, fast-paced and silly, a sequel to "The Mouse That Roared". Apparently there are people out there who believe that Neil Armstrong's moon walk in 1969 was a hoax. It wasn't, but here's the thing: Grand Fenwick got there first, and this movie proves it.
