Description:
It had been less than a year sinse 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 riviting 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 desparate battle to survive. Meanwhile at misson 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 breathtaking adventure that tells a story of courage, faith and ingenuity that is all the more remarkable because it is true!
