On July 20, 1969, American Neil Armstrong, riding Apollo 11, successfully landed on the moon, taking a major step that is of great significance to mankind. At the same time, senior astronaut Jim Lovell (Tom Hanks) and his family and friends watched this historic moment closely through TV. Jim had flown near the moon on Apollo 8, and he also hoped to realize his dream of landing on the moon in his lifetime. This moment is coming soon. Just three months later, Jim was appointed as the commander of Apollo 13. He will once again lift off to the moon together with his partners Ferry Dehans (Bill Paxton) and Jack Schweizer (Kevin Bacon). They were full of hope, but they did not expect that there would be unlimited suffering waiting ahead... This film is adapted from real events and won more than 20 awards, including the 1996 Academy Awards for Best Editing and Best Sound Effects.
