Apollo 13

Apollo 13 is the story of America's fifth mission to the moon and one that ended in catastrophe in April 1970. Only fifty-five hours into the mission, disaster struck for Jim Lovell and two other astronauts after a rapidly declining supply of oxygen forced the three astronauts to abandon their ship for the lunar module, a tiny craft designed to keep two men alive for only two days. Mission Control's desperate efforts to bring the crew back are considered by many to be NASA's finest hour.
