Plot:
Based on real events of one of the worst NASA accidents. In 1971, NASA plans to send out people to the Moon for a lunar mission. They have chosen astronauts Jim Lovell, Frad Haise, and Jack Swigert. They have launched into outer space successfully, however, a slight fault from inside the space module caused an explosion that turned the exploration into a test for survival for the crew of Apollo 13. While Lovell, Haise, and Swigert try to survive in space, the workers at NASA, (including Ken Mattingly) try to figure out a way to get the astronauts home safely.
