It had been less than a year since the first man walked on the Moon, but to the American public, Apollo 13 was just another "routine" space flight. That is until the words pierced the immense void of space: "Houston, we have a problem." Stranded in a crippled spacecraft 205,000 miles from Earth, astronauts Jim Lovell, Fred Haise and Jack Swigert fight a desperate battle to survive. Meanwhile, at Mission Control, astronaut Ken Mattingly, flight director Gene Kranz and the efforts of a heroic ground crew race against time - and the odds - to bring the men home.

an the winner is... submitted by lekendrick on May 6, 2011, 3:00pm I was more happy see this had stood as glorified example from whence we'd come, lived, & were going in the shooting style afforded! It's a visually appealing film if something of the realm extraordinary is found lacking then let stand as a tribute or testament!
