Apollo 13 dramatizes the real 1970 lunar mission of the same name. Astronauts Jim Lovell (Tom Hanks), Fred Haise (Bill Paxton) and Jack Swigert (Kevin Bacon) set off toward the Moon, only for an oxygen tank explosion to cripple their spacecraft en route. With their landing aborted, the mission becomes a desperate struggle for survival — as NASA’s flight controllers, led by Gene Kranz (Ed Harris), scramble to devise stop-gap engineering solutions while the crew fights to stay alive as they drift farther and farther from Earth. Director Ron Howard keeps the tension tight, balancing the technical details of space flight with the human drama of men far from home, ultimately turning a failed mission into a story of ingenuity, teamwork and hope.
