It had been less that 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 odds - to bring them home. It’s a breathtaking
adventure that tells a story of courage, with and ingenuity that is all the more
remarkable because it is true!
