Genre: Drama
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. It's 1970, and America have already achieved their lunar landing goal, so there's little interest in this "routine" flight.. until that is, things go very wrong, and prospects of a safe return fade.

"Apollo 13" remains Howard's masterpiece. Here is that rare film that improves with age, as all the little details, those tiny ever-so-right things tucked away in the nooks and corners of the story, reveal themselves to you on second, fifth, twenty-fifth viewing, while all the things that felt so right the first time feel just as right all over again. I adored this film in 1995 and love it even more today. It is, quite simply, one of the finest movies ever produced.![Apollo 13 (1995) [Anniversary Edition]](https://pixhost.icu/avaxhome/64/3e/00223e64_medium.jpeg)

The film works because of its simplicity. Listen closely to the closing narration by Tom Hanks, who plays veteran astronaut Jim Lovell, upon whose book "Lost Moon" the film is adapted. Screenwriters William Broyles, Jr., and Al Reinert do not attempt to flower the speech with lofty metaphors and grand eloquence; instead, Hanks talks in a straightforward manner: here, briefly, is what happened after the mission ended, and here is what I think of my experiences. There's no need to show off with flamboyant dialogue. The story itself is exceptional, as are the people who lived it.![Apollo 13 (1995) [Anniversary Edition]](https://pixhost.icu/avaxhome/65/3e/00223e65_medium.jpeg)

(Must I recount the plot? In 1970, NASA's third trip to the moon met with disaster, endangering the lives of the three astronauts on board; Howard's film tells the story of the mission in remarkable detail.)![Apollo 13 (1995) [Anniversary Edition]](https://pixhost.icu/avaxhome/66/3e/00223e66_medium.jpeg)

What makes the story of "Apollo 13" remarkable is not what happened when the damaged coil within the ship's oxygen tank exploded, but what happened next. The film finds the right heart, turning history into a tribute to teamwork and ingenuity. The crew encounters a long string of dangers, each one of them requiring a unique solution, and just watch how a small army of great minds pitch in. There is no reaching for glory, no egos desperate for credit. Here, with time running out and three lives on the line, everyone puts their heads together and become all the better for it.![Apollo 13 (1995) [Anniversary Edition]](https://pixhost.icu/avaxhome/67/3e/00223e67_medium.jpeg)

Ed Harris received much acclaim (quite deserved) for his performance as flight director Gene Kranz, whose speech about how "failure is not an option" became modern day shorthand for gumption and resolve. But there's a better scene featuring Kranz that's even better at defining the movie's themes. Shortly after the explosion, he's approached by flight controller Sy Liebergot, played by Clint Howard:![Apollo 13 (1995) [Anniversary Edition]](https://pixhost.icu/avaxhome/68/3e/00223e68_medium.jpeg)

Liebergot: Flight, I recommend we shut down reactant valves to the fuel cells.
Kranz: What the hell good is that gonna do?
Liebergot: If that's where the leak is, we can isolate it. We can save what's left in the tanks and we can run on the good cell.
Kranz: You close 'em, you can't open 'em again. You can't land on the moon with one healthy fuel cell.
Liebergot: Gene, the Odyssey is dying. From my chair here, this is the last option.![Apollo 13 (1995) [Anniversary Edition]](https://pixhost.icu/avaxhome/69/3e/00223e69_medium.jpeg)

Kranz pauses for a second or two, then gives the go ahead. What a remarkable moment. Here is a key decision, a bold risk that will instantly change the rest of the mission from a landing operation to a rescue attempt. Kranz had every right to ask for more time or second opinions; instead, he looks into the eyes of a man whose specialized expertise is indispensable, and says, essentially, I trust you to be right, even if I'm not sure.![Apollo 13 (1995) [Anniversary Edition]](https://pixhost.icu/avaxhome/6a/3e/00223e6a_medium.jpeg)

The entire film is loaded with little moments like this, when Kranz - and, by extension, astronauts Lovell, Fred Haise (Bill Paxton), and Jack Swigert (Kevin Bacon) - cannot afford time for explanations and must rely entirely on the trust that the great minds around him know exactly what they need to know in order to help. (Of course, these great minds occasionally disagree, and they do so forcefully but respectfully; here, it becomes Kranz's job to unify the crew under his decisions.)![Apollo 13 (1995) [Anniversary Edition]](https://pixhost.icu/avaxhome/6b/3e/00223e6b_medium.jpeg)

All of this makes "Apollo 13" sound like the world's most expensive corporate training video. There is, of course, more to it. We also get a stirring tribute to the golden age of NASA, and the unfathomable situation where less than a year after landing on the moon, a nation was actually bored by another mission. There's a sadness over this feeling of apathy (still shamefully present in America today) - how terrific is Kathleen Quinlan as Marilyn Lovell, bitterly suggesting that the television networks who only care when it suits their ratings can go to hell? - but it's tempered with a genuine sense of awe over ordinary men daring to do extraordinary things.![Apollo 13 (1995) [Anniversary Edition]](https://pixhost.icu/avaxhome/6c/3e/00223e6c_medium.jpeg)

The screenplay crackles with excitement and humanity, the cast reaches perfection with earnest performances, and Howard captures the right rhythms to the story, never forcing the action, allowing the tale to unfold on its own terms. The technical crew then allows all of these elements to click into place by surrounding them with effects work that's undetectable - the flawless recreation of the launch, the command center, the tiny world of the command module floating in space, all building a seamless realism that helps sell the drama.![Apollo 13 (1995) [Anniversary Edition]](https://pixhost.icu/avaxhome/6d/3e/00223e6d_medium.jpeg)

The drama! It remains impossible to watch the final minutes of this film through dry eyes; knowing the outcome in advance never matters. Howard's handling of the material is spot-on, leading us slowly, surely up to the final crisis, the danger of re-entry. The waiting is unbearable, the reveal utterly simple. The story does not require anything more, except, perhaps, for that shot of Mission Control erupting in cheers. And we cheer, too.DVDtalk
