Written by William Broyles Jr., Al ReinertDirected by Ron HowardProduction Year: 1995Rating: PG CertificateProduction Country: USAFilmed in ColourIn 1970, during the glory days of the Apollo space program, NASA sent Commander Jim Lovell, Fred Haise and Jack Swigert on America's fifth mission to the moon. Two days later, when Apollo 13 was 200,000 miles from home, an oxygen tank exploded and the crew was placed in unprecedented danger. So many things could have killed the crew, from lack of oxygen and water to the complete breakdown of communication and navigation systems. If any one of those catastrophes had occurred, the three men would have been condemned to an eternity of orbiting the earth and her pale sister entombed in the craft that failed them. Instead, ingenuity and sheer luck prevailed. When is Apollo 13 next on TV?
