5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Tom Hanks and Kevin Bacon are cast as the astronauts on an iff-fated journey to the moon in Apollo 13 … See their triumphs, then their frustrations and fears as they must find a way to return to earth after failures strike the Space craft. An enjoyable movie based on fact .. great to see and fantastic in blu-ray.

Description

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 (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 the odds to bring them home.
