EyeForFilmTrue story of NASA's Apollo 13 routine mission to the Moon in April 1970. Three astronauts get involved in a deep-space accident when a valve on their spacecraft, Odyssey, blows up and leaves them stranded thousands of miles away from the safety of Earth. What begins as an exploration quickly turns into a desperate rescue mission to avert the first American casualties in space.
Incredible movie, totally believable and fascinating to watch. Director Howard really makes you feel like you're there with them in the dark confines of space. Thoroughly recommended. ~ The Lord

Ron Howard's look at the almost-ill-fated Apollo 13 space mission makes for an almost perfect movie, and I only say almost because of Phil Kaufman's perfect The Right Stuff. ~ The Sloth
