    Apollo 13 directed by Ron Howard is the story of the real space mission that took place in 1969.

En route‚ an onboard explosion deprives their spacecraft of most of its oxygen supply and electric power‚ forcing NASA’s flight controllers to abort the Moon landing‚ and turning the mission into a struggle to get the three men home safely.
