The story
Apollo 13 tells the true story of the third Apollo mission, en route to the moon. Astronauts Jim Lovell, Fred Haise and Jack Swigert found that in 1970, after the moon landing, there was little interest in missions to the moon. This changes, however, when certain things go wrong in the Apollo and a return to Earth becomes unlikely.
Guide.tv review:
Director Ron Howard’s career has had its highs and relatively deep lows, but Apollo 13 is clearly one of the tops. This film was nominated for no less than nine Oscars and even managed to win the Best Sound and Best Editing statues. Howard brings this story to the big screen in a very compelling way, with the creme de la creme in the realm of special effects and a fantastic cast – which oozes the 90s in everything.
