Apollo 13 vividly chronicles the most dramatic space flight in history, which took place in April of 1970. After three days in space, Apollo astronauts Jim Lovell, Fred Haise, and Jack Swigert finally approach their long-cherished destination, when suddenly their spacecraft's power and guidance systems go down—and the supply of oxygen begins to dwindle.
The trio now faces a grim reality: their crippled capsule, stranded 205,000 miles in space, might never return to earth. With time running out, the crew and thousands of others, including flight director Gene Kranz, brave near-impossible odds in a daring attempt to guide the capsule earthward. The film salutes the patience, ingenuity, and courage of the astronauts, and the creative efforts of Mission Control to bring them safely back to earth.
