The Rocket Post (2004) (original) (raw)
Drama based on the true story of a remote Scottish community on the Hebridean island of Scarp that became enchanted by a dashing German rocket scientist, Gerhard Zucher (Ulrich Thomsen), and his plans to link them to the outside world during the late 1930s.

The building of the rocket, even after an initial failed attempt, soon becomes a community effort and eventually creates a unique bond between Zucher and the island's inhabitants.
