Storyline
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. Written by Rob Hartill

Trivia
All the screens in the fictional Houston control room were monitored by a software center that was built just below the set. According to director Ron Howard, almost three days of production were lost while trying to fix the software, which wouldn't work properly. See more »Goofs
Continuity: During the liftoff scene, we see the astronauts jolted in their seats before the engines have ignited. See more »Quotes
