In an ordinary New Zealand suburb, a competition with a twist is being staged: it requires entrants to place one hand on an up-for-grabs Land Rover, the eventual winner being the person who keeps it there the longest. Attracted to this gruelling contest are people from every walk of life—with disparate reasons for taking part—including salesman Tom (Craig Hall), a lovable rogue who'll do whatever it takes to win, and single mother Jess (Melanie Lynskey), a parking warden who needs the car for her disabled child; though her motives for winning take an unexpected turn when Tom rubs her up the wrong way.
Originally conceived as a television film, Show of Hands received funding to be released theatrically when Melanie Lynskey signed on to the project. Filming took place in New Plymouth, New Zealand between November and December 2007, with principal photography lasting 24 days. The film was shot using HD Thomson Viper cameras.
Show of Hands premiered at the Montreal World Film Festival on 28 August 2008. It was released theatrically in New Zealand on 13 November that same year.
The film received generally positive reviews, with critics commending its performances and editing.
