Apollo 13
Anniversary Edition
Houston, we have a problem.
It had been less than 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, Fred Haise and Jack Swigert fight a desperate battle to survive. Meanwhile, at Mission Control, astronaut Ken Mattingly, flight director Gene Kranz and a heroic ground crew race against time-and the odds- to bring them home.
It’s a breathtaking adventure that tells a story of courage, faith and ingenuity that is all the more remarkable because it is true!

This sentence I am writing here is only because I said all I had to say.Great movie - brad2332
I remember watching this when I was little and I am still impressed to this day. I specifically waited to watch it on Bluray and I am glad I did. This is a movie to watch on the best quality possible. I am not sure how true to the facts this movie is but it was very entertaining and believable. It was pretty cool to see so many well known actors in one movie perform so well. Highly recommended.A Timeless Classic! - Mrrowan
Apollo 13 is and always be a timeless classic. With huge names in production, this is a movie that you shouldn't miss. With great film techniques added to an already dramatic plot, this is the height of all space movies. Space movies can be really hit and miss, but Howard obviously has it mastered. With almost complete accuracy, you can be assured that this is the story how the astronauts say it. A Beautiful Film!
