Apollo 13 (Widescreen 2-Disc Anniversary Edition) description
NASA's worst nightmare turned into one of the space agency's most heroic moments in 1970, when the Apollo 13 crew was forced to hobble home in a disabled capsule after an explosion seriously damaged the moon-bound spacecraft. Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, and Bill Paxton play (respectively) astronauts Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert, and Fred Haise in director Ron Howard's intense, painstakingly authentic docudrama. The Apollo 13 crew and Houston-based mission controllers race against time and heavy odds to return the damaged spacecraft safely to Earth from a distance of 205,500 miles. Using state-of-the-art special effects and ingenious filmmaking techniques, Howard and his stellar cast and crew build nail-biting tension while maintaining close fidelity to the facts. The result is a fitting tribute to the Apollo 13 mission and one of the biggest box-office hits of 1995. --Jeff Shannon |

A movie that profiles an anxious moment in space.
|
| Ron Howard should be commended for directing the true story on one of the most anxious moments in the world. The crew of the Apollo 13 faced some agonizing moments during that week in April,1970. I enjoyed the work of Tom Hanks in this movie. To me it was one of his best next to Forest Gump, Saving Private Ryan and Cast Away. Hanks is an actor for all seasons. Good movie and a good price for this two set DVD collection! |
