On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong, an American aboard Apollo 11, successfully landed on the moon, taking a significant step forward for humanity. Meanwhile, veteran astronaut Jim Lowell (played by Tom Hanks) and his relatives and friends were closely following this historic moment through television. Jim once flew to the vicinity of the moon on Apollo 8, and he also hopes to realize his dream of landing on the moon in his lifetime. This moment came soon. Just three months later, Jim was appointed commander of Apollo 13. He would once again lift off to the moon with his partners, Fred Durhans (played by Bill Paxton) and Jack Swigit (played by Kevin Bacon). They were full of hope, but never expected that there were countless hardships awaiting them ahead... This film is based on a true story and has won more than 20 awards, including the Academy Award for Best Film Editing and Best Sound in 1996.[Collapse]
