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.

Never travel with Tom Hanks

"Work the problem, don't make it worse by guessing". That should be hanging on the wall in every support desk office and workshop. Brilliant film, great acting and truly NASA's Finest Hour.
-
Hands down one of the finest movies ever made.
-
What I like about this film is that the crew, may have been on Apollo 13, but they were PHENOMENALLY lucky this happened near the start of the mission, when they had a maximum of power and supplies. If it happened at the moon or on the return trip, they never would have survived.
-
If you think about it, what they accomplished was far more impressive than landing on the moon.
-
I still can't get over how hopeless and terrifying that would be.
-
Apollo 13 was 1970. This movie came out in 1995. When the movie came out, they were closer to the actual Apollo 13, than we are now to that movie. Let that sink in!
-
Damnit. I've got to go to bed in fifteen minutes, but now I NEED to watch Apollo 13 for the hundredth time.
-
I am in complete awe. This cast. This whole film. The actual event. Props to everyone involved in this historic moment.
-
A lot of people don't get that oxygen was important because it was the fuel that powered the spacecraft (along with hydrogen in the fuel cells) - so losing the O2 tanks was critical because of power loss, not because of losing breathing oxygen. The LEM had enough spare oxygen tanks (meant for the moonwalking) to give them air to breathe for quite some time if they needed it, the issue was POWER.
-
Gene's( Ed Harris) line "Let's look at this from a standpoint of status...what have we got on the spacecraft that's good?" Thats the voice of a guy in charge keeping calm during what was at the time the biggest catastrophe NASA faced. One of Ed Harris best performances
-
It's the little things all through this movie that do it for me. When Lovell says "Houston, we are venting something out into space" - the way Haise and Swigert shut up and immediately turn their heads to look that way makes it so much more real than actors reciting lines.
-
Tom Hanks' delivery of Lovell's line, "We are venting something out into space," gives me chills every time. He reports it with professional calm but also an incredible gravity and it just drops on every other character like a hammer. You can see the realization wash over them that this is not a glitch but a real and extremely dangerous problem. And that one shot of the tumbling spacecraft "falling" towards the moon in silence...what a masterpiece of wordlessly conveying emotion.
-
Fifty years ago today, NASA Mission Control heard the words: “Houston, we’ve had a problem.”
-
The 90's were the best decade in movie making. Titanic, Jurassic Park, Apollo 13, Shawshank, just to name a few.
-
5:18 "We're not gonna have much power...The ship's bleeding to death."---Those words have got to the most haunting words you can hear a pilot say in that situation. I remember seeing this when I was 6-years old and it has always stayed in my memory. It really is amazing how they came together as a team to survive what happened up there 240,000 miles away from earth. And you have no way of stopping it!!!
-
This film teaches me 1.Never Panic 2. Never make a decision on an emotion 3.( point deleted because people are sensitive)
-
The amount of "oh shit"moments in this clip. How long does it take to power up the LEM? 3 hours You have 15 minutes
-
The unsung hero, most remarkable and unenviable staffer in ground control: the guy in the turtleneck that had to answer to and tell the astronauts whatever it was needed, without the least hint of worry in his voice. 👏👏👏

I met a beautiful woman in 1995, we saw this film together on our first date. Our first kiss at the end of the date was memorable and we were married within a year !
