Details

Astronaut Jim Lovell (Tom Hanks) and his team Jack Swigert (Kevin Bacon) and Fred Haise (Bill Paxton) depart on what was to be NASA’s third lunar landing in 1970. Halfway through the mission, an explosion threatens the crew’s oxygen and power supplies. Signaling the emergency with what became an iconic phrase “Houston, we have a problem,” the astronauts bravely face either suffocating or freezing to death, as Mission Control leader Gene Kranz (Ed Harris) struggles to find a way to bring them home safely. Directed by Ron Howard, the historical drama was nominated for the Best Picture Oscar and subsequently rereleased in IMAX format in 2002.
Rated PG
