NASA's worst nightmare turned into one of the space agency's most heroic moments in 1970, when the Apollo 13 crew was forced to hobble home in a disabled capsule after an explosion seriously damaged the moon-bound spacecraft.
Ron Howard's Oscar-winning take on the Apollo 13 story. The mission, manned by astronauts Lovell (Tom Hanks), Swigert (Kevin Bacon) and Haise (Bill Paxton), starts out as a routine spaceflight which generates little media interest. But all that changes when an oxygen tank explosion cripples the ship and prompts the immortal line, 'Houston ... we have a problem'. Now Lovell and his crew have to struggle to keep going, while at Mission Control their colleagues Kranz (Ed Harris) and Mattingly (Gary Sinise) do everything they can to bring them home.

Product Reviews
Difficult to see how this could have been better
The cliche; 'based on a true story' was never truer than this. After years of scifi this is based on the real thing, and it shows. Star Trek may be realistic for 400 years time but today we're in the equivalent of a model T Ford. The film pulls no punches in this enthralling drama of ups and downs, warts and all of just how stressful this business is with very little glamour. Close to perfect.
