Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, and Bill Paxton play (respectively) astronauts Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert, and Fred Haise in director Ron Howard's intense, painstakingly authentic docudrama. The <i>Apollo 13</i> crew and Houston-based mission controllers race against time and heavy odds to return the damaged spacecraft safely to Earth from a distance of 205,500 miles. Using state-of-the-art special effects and ingenious filmmaking techniques, Howard and his stellar cast and crew build nail-biting tension while maintaining close fidelity to the facts. The result is a fitting tribute to the <i>Apollo 13</i> mission and one of the biggest box-office hits of 1995. <i>--Jeff Shannon</i> Reader Reviews this movie has great acting... by tom hanks and kevin bacon and the rest of the cast.its like armagedon but even better becouse it is of a real event.
