A movie based on what was to be the third lunarlanding mission. This film shows the trials and tribulations of the Apollo 13 crew, mission control, and families after a nearfatal accident cripples the space vehicle. A mission that couldnt get TV airtime because space flights had become routine to the American public suddenly grabbed the national spotlight. This is a tale of averted tragedy, heroism and shows a testament to the creativity of the scientists who ran the early space missions.

Based on the true story of the ill-fated 13th Apollo mission bound for the moon. Astronauts Lovell, Haise and Swigert were scheduled to fly Apollo 14, but are moved up to 13. Its 1970, and America have already achieved their lunar landing goal, so theres little interest in this routine flight... until that is.
