Based on: Jim Lovell and Jeffrey Kluger's Lost Moon: The Perilous Voyage Of Apollo 13 (1994) Considered by many to still be Ron Howard's greatest directorial achievement, Apollo 13 is the ultimate story of surviving against the odds. Based on the non-fiction book and the accounts of the real Apollo 13 astronauts Jim Lovell and Jeffrey Kluger, Howard's film is a technically and historically accurate portrayal of the events that surrounded Apollo 13's expedition to Luna. For those too young to have been alive when the actual Apollo 13 mission began (it was over forty years ago, so it's pretty likely), the original mission was for the crew to land on on the Moon itself and follow in the footsteps of the Apollo 11 mission. The landing was never to be though, as an oxygen tank fitted to the crew's shuttle burst shortly after take-off, prompting NASA to abort the mission and get the astronauts back to Earth alive.
