Description
It had been less than a year since man first walked on the moon, but as far as the American Public was concerned, Apollo 13 was just another "routine" space flight - until these words pierced the immense void of space: "Houston we have a problem."
Ron Howard directs Academy Award winner
Tom Hanks,
Kevin Bacon,
Bill Paxton,
Gary Sinise and
Ed Harris in a riveting suspense-thriller from Imagine Entertainment. Stranded 205,000 miles from Earth in a crippled spacecraft, astronauts Jim Lovell (Hanks), Fred Haise (Paxton), and Jack Swigert (Bacon) fight a desperate battle to survive. Meanwhile, at Mission Control, astronaut Ken Mattingly (Sinise), flight director Gene Kranz (Harris) and a heroic ground crew race against time - and the odds - to bring them home. It's a breathtaking adventure that tells a story of courage, faith and ingenuity that is all the more remarkable because it is true!
