Plot

The film opens with a flashback of the Apollo 1 fire incident, accompanied by a narration by Walter Cronkite. As Cronkite’s monologue ends, the film moves on to July 20, 1969 where veteran astronaut Jim Lovell (Tom Hanks) is on his way home to a party for the Apollo 11 moon landing. After witnessing Neil Armstrong’s historic first steps on the moon, an inebriated Lovell stares up at the moon and tells his wife, Marilyn (Kathleen Quinlan), of his wish for a moon landing of his own.

A few months later, Jim, who's expecting to fly Apollo 14, is giving a VIP tour of NASA’s towering Vehicle Assembly Building while Apollo 13’s massive Saturn V rocket is being assembled. As the Congressmen among the VIPs question the possibility of any further moon landings after beating the Soviet Union to the moon, he is informed by Deke Slayton (Chris Ellis) that he and his crew have been bumped up to be prime crew of Apollo 13. After informing his family of his new flight assignment, Lovell and his crew, Fred Haise (Bill Paxton) and Ken Mattingly (Gary Sinise) begin training for Apollo 13's mission instead of 14's. As the launch date approaches, Marilyn’s fears for her husband’s fourth space mission manifest in her unwillingness to go to the Launch. Apollo 14 was the eighth manned mission in the Apollo program and the third mission to land on the Moon. ... For the moon designated Saturn V, see Rhea. ...

At Cape Kennedy, two days before Launch, Lovell is informed that Mattingly may be at risk for German measles. Despite his efforts to overrule the flight surgeon’s recommendations, Lovell makes the decision to bump Mattingly off the flight and replace him with the backup Command Module Pilot, Jack Swigert (Kevin Bacon), to the chagrin of Haise and Mattingly. The night before launch, Haise says his goodbye to his family; bachelor Swigert is seen off by at least one person who calls out "Jack" off screen. Also in attendance, to Lovell’s surprise, is Marilyn, coming to see “a hell of a show.” John Leonard Jack Swigert, Jr. ... Kevin Norwood Bacon[1] (born July 8, 1958) is an American film and theater actor who has starred in Footloose, Animal House, Stir of Echoes, Wild Things, JFK, and Apollo 13, among many others. ...

The next morning Lovell, Haise and Swigert are suited up for the launch. Meanwhile, in Houston's Mission Control Center, Apollo 13 flight director Gene Kranz (Ed Harris) prepares the members of Mission Control for the flight. After the crew has been secured into the spacecraft, the mission is given a "go" for launch. The film then moves into a dramatic launch sequence as the astronauts are launched into orbit. The middle engine on the Saturn V's S-II stage cuts off prematurely during its intended burn, which causes brief concern, but the astronauts eventually make it to orbit without any more problems. After performing TLI, the burn that sends the Apollo 13 CSM/LM to the moon, Swigert maneuvers the Apollo Command Module Odyssey to dock with the Lunar Module Aquarius. Mission Control Center (MCC) is a unit that manages aerospace flights. ... Gene Kranz in a more recent photo. ... For other persons of the same name, see Edward Harris. ...

On the third day of the mission, the crew broadcasts a television program to Earth from their spacecraft. Unbeknownst to them, the major networks have refused to air it due to the perceived lack of interest in spaceflight as the public has come to view it as "routine". After the broadcast, the crew runs through an in-flight “housekeeping” checklist. After Swigert is asked to stir their cryogenic oxygen tanks, an explosion in the Service Module rocks the spacecraft, the crew and Mission Control shocked to find that the oxygen tanks aboard the "Odyssey" are leaking, which prompts Mission Control to abort the moon landing, and the crew gets to work shutting down the Odyssey and powering up the Aquarius to act as a lifeboat so the crew can get home.

On Earth, backup commander John Young recruits a depressed Mattingly to help prepare procedures to restart the "Odyssey" once the crew is near Earth. Meanwhile, the Apollo 13 crew shuts down the Odyssey, powers up the Aquarius and orients the spacecraft so they pass around the dark side of the moon, while a melancholy Lovell daydreams of his first steps on the Lunar surface.

After regaining contact with the space craft, the team at Mission Control has to deal with more problems. To conserve power, the crew must shut down the Aquarius and remain in the freezing cold in order to make it home. Swigert suspects that Mission Control hasn't given the crew a re-entry plan because they have made some kind of mistake that can't be fixed and they don't want the crew to find out that they're doomed. In a fit of rage, Haise chastises Swigert’s relative inexperience as the cause for the accident, after which a full blown argument ensues, but is quickly quelled by Lovell. Then Houston radios in with another problem: they must deal with the heavy carbon dioxide being created by the three men in the two-man Aquarius. The men in Houston put together a crude but effective method to remove the poisonous gas, creating a "mailbox" device that cleans the atmosphere in the "Aquarius" and the crew once again averts danger.

As the spacecraft approaches Earth, the crew is forced to make a risky course correction by burning the Lunar Module's descent engine in order to prevent from skipping off earth's atmosphere. Despite Haise's fever and freezing conditions inside the cabin, the crew succeeds in righting their wayward spacecraft. With the Earth approaching, Mattingly's team struggles to find a way to power up the Command Module with what little power is left on the crippled spacecraft. After Mattingly gets a small, but ingenious idea, the power-up procedures are finalized and Mattingly instructs Swigert on reviving the Odyssey.

After witnessing the damage suffered by the scarred Service Module, the crew strap in for their descent into the atmosphere. With one final goodbye to the Aquarius, the LM that saved their lives is jettisoned. Then, the Odyssey re-enters the Earth’s atmosphere, and after over 4 minutes of radio ionization blackout - 3 minutes is normal - the crew reports that they have made it alive and well. Celebration rushes through Mission Control and in the homes of the astronauts' families. In an emotional scene, Kranz simply sits down as everyone applauds around him, looking overwhelmed and fighting back tears. After splashing down, the crew is plucked out of the water and lands on the USS Iwo Jima to a heroes' welcome. The film then concludes with a slow-motion sequence with monologue by Hanks (as Lovell) about the events that would follow their return from space. Actor Hanks shakes hands with the real Jim Lovell, acting as the captain of the Iwo Jima.

Critical reaction

The film was widely praised as a compelling dramatization of a dramatic true engineering event during the Space Race. The film also depicted the teamwork involved in coping with an unprecedented catastrophe in space travel with calm reasoning and ingenuity of the NASA engineers. The determination of dozens of characters on the ground to bring the astronauts home safely is perhaps best summed up when Kranz says, "We've never lost an American in space and we're sure as hell not going to lose one on my watch. Failure is not an option." Kranz didn't actually say, "Failure is not an option!" during the Apollo 13 mission, but this line from the movie inspired the title of his autobiography. For a list of key events, see Timeline of space exploration. ... Space exploration is the physical exploration of outer-Earth objects and generally anything that involves the technologies, science, and politics regarding space endeavors. ...

Many critics decried the scene in which Marilyn Lovell dropped her ring into the shower drain as an unrealistic, fictional addition.^{[citation needed]} However, according to Lovell, this actually did occur.^[2] The Lovells refer to the incident in an interview on the DVD version of the film,^[3] and Jim Lovell mentioned it in his book, Lost Moon. In reality, Marilyn was able to recover the ring after it went down the drain.

Technical accuracy

The film is notable for its technical accuracy; principals reported that the film is reasonably faithful to the facts of the mission but adds some tension between the astronauts for dramatic effect.

The dialogue between ground control and the astronauts was taken verbatim from actual transcripts and recordings, with the notable exception of one of the taglines of the film, "Houston, we have a problem."^[4] (This quote was voted #50 on the list "AFI's 100 Years... 100 Movie Quotes".) The words uttered by Jack Swigert were "Okay, Houston, we've had a problem here." Jim Lovell then repeated "Houston, we've had a problem." The script changed the quote deliberately, as Lovell's actual words suggested something happening in the past rather than the present.^[5] Part of the AFI 100 Years. ...

Scenes involving weightlessness were filmed aboard NASA's "Vomit Comet", a KC-135 aircraft which is used to mimic microgravity for short periods by performing a series of parabolic dives. The spacecraft interiors were constructed by the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center's Space Works, who also restored the actual Apollo 13 Command Module. Zero gravity redirects here. ... For other uses, see NASA (disambiguation). ... Project Mercury astronauts on C-131 flying as Vomit Comet, 1959 Weightlessness inside the Vomit Comet Vomit Comet is a nickname for any airplane that briefly provides a nearly weightless environment in which to train astronauts, conduct research, and film motion pictures. ... Astronauts on the International Space Station display an example of weightlessness Weightlessness is the experience (by people and objects) during freefall, of having no weight. ... The Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center is a museum and educational facility in Hutchinson, Kansas that is best known for the display and restoration of space artifacts. ...

The real Mission Control room is on the third floor of a building. The Mission Control room built for the movie was on a ground floor. One NASA employee who was a consultant for the film claimed that the set was so realistic that he would leave at the end of the day and look for the elevator before remembering he was not actually in Mission Control.

A DVD commentary track, recorded by Mr. and Mrs. Lovell and included with both the original and 10th anniversary editions,^[1] mentions several inaccuracies included in the film, all done for reasons of artistic license: A major selling point of DVD video is that its storage capacity allows for a wide variety of extra features in addition to the feature film itself. ... The Artistic License is a software license used for certain free software packages, most notably the standard Perl implementation, most of CPAN modules and Parrot, which are dual-licensed under the Artistic License and the GNU General Public License (GPL). ...

• In the film, Ken Mattingly plays a key role in solving a power consumption problem that Apollo 13 was faced with as it approached re-entry. Lovell points out repeatedly in his commentary that in this case Mattingly was a composite of several astronauts and engineers – including Charles Duke (whose rubella led to Mattingly's grounding) – all of whom played a role in solving that problem.^[3]
• The Saturn V markings on the movie rocket were different than the actual Saturn vehicle for the mission, particularly on the S-IVB (third) stage, which appears as vertically striped, rather than a single solid band.
• When Jack Swigert is getting ready to dock with the LM, a concerned NASA technician says, "If Swigert can't dock this thing, we don't have a mission." Lovell and Haise also seem worried. On the Anniversary Edition DVD, the real Jim Lovell says that if Swigert hadn't been able to dock with the LM, he or Haise could have done it. He also says that Swigert was a well-trained Command Module Pilot and that no one was really worried about whether he was up to the job, but he admitted that it made a nice sub-plot for the film.
• A scene set the night before the launch, showing the astronauts' family members saying their goodbyes while separated by a road, a distance introduced to reduce the possibility of any last-minute transmission of disease, depicted a tradition not begun until the Space Shuttle program.^[3]
• The final manual burn of the LM's engine, done to put Apollo 13 back on course, lasted 14 seconds, not 39, and was done with the engine pointed perpendicular to the Earth instead of towards the Earth as depicted in the film.^[3] The length of the burn given in the film may have been based on a conversation earlier in the flight, before plans were finalized.^[6]

Some other technical inaccuracies exist in the procedures shown in the movie: Thomas Kenneth Ken Mattingly II, Rear Admiral, USN (retired) (born March 17, 1936) is an American who as an astronaut flew on the Apollo 16, STS-4, and STS-51-C missions. ... Charles Moss Duke, Jr. ... In medicine, transmission is the passing of a disease from an infected individual or group to a previously uninfected individual or group. ...

The LEM flight instrumentation panel and front windows. ... Fig. ...

• During the climb to orbit the CAPCOM says "we see your BPC is clear thirteen" indicating that the Boost Protective Cover has been jettisoned. This does not actually happen until moments later when the Launch Escape System fires, taking the BPC with it.
• The solid rockets on the S-II interstage are shown as firing some seconds after the S-IC stage was jettisoned, whereas in reality they fired a fraction of a second before the explosive bolts separated the two stages. To further complicate matters, the retro thrusters on the S-IC stage on Apollo 13's Saturn V may have fired early, partially explaining why the crew reported such a jolt when the stage shut down.
• The movie shows Tom Hanks jettisoning the Launch escape system by pressing the 'LES MOTOR FIRE' button. In reality, that was purely an emergency measure in case the motor didn't fire in an abort. Normally the LES would be jettisoned automatically, or the crew could jettison it manually by flicking up one of the 'TWR JETT' switches. Pressing 'LES MOTOR FIRE' without blowing the explosive bolts first with the 'TWR JETT' switch would cause the abort motor to fire while it was still attached to the Saturn V, causing serious problems for the astronauts.
• The launch sequence in the movie shows the engine lights on the control panel as lit when the engine is operating, and flashing when the engine shuts down. In reality, after launch the light would only be lit when an engine shut down, and were out otherwise; the general idea seems to have been that lights would only light up to indicate a problem, so it was immediately obvious to the crew.
• During the actual mission an undetected effect (steam from the LM cooling system) caused the returning craft to be slightly off course, requiring a final corrective 'burn'.
• As with most Hollywood depictions of a Saturn V liftoff, the five F-1 engines of the booster's first stage ignite when the countdown reaches zero. In reality, ignition routinely began (quite visibly and spectacularly) at around "T minus" 8.9 seconds, with "zero" marking the moment when the booster assembly was released and lifted off from the launchpad, beginning the flight and its "T plus" timed length.
• At liftoff, the movie shows all nine swing arms connecting the Saturn V to the launch umbilical tower separating one by one. This includes the crew access arm, which the astronauts walked across to reach the spacecraft and which would have been swung away well before ignition. In real life, only five of the swing arms--the so-called in-flight arms--were still connected to the Saturn V at liftoff. They swung away simultaneously as the vehicle left the launch platform.

The film contains a few anachronisms:^[7] The S-II was the second stage of the Saturn V rocket. ... The S-IC was the first stage of the Saturn V rocket. ... Apollo LES Pad Abort test A Launch Escape System (LES) is a top-mounted rocket connected to the crew module of a crewed spacecraft and used to quickly separate and launch the crew module away from the rest of the rocket in the case of an emergency. ...

• The use of NASA's "worm" logo (first used in 1975)
• The appearance of The Beatles' Let It Be album a month before it was actually released.
• In one scene, a character at NASA, talking to a fellow technician, points to a Mr. Coffee machine, and says, "[The spacecraft needs to operate on] barely enough [power] to run a coffee pot for nine hours." However, electric drip coffeemakers, such as Mr. Coffee, did not yet exist in 1970. (Mr. Coffee was not introduced until 1972.)^[8]
• During the "failure is not an option" scene, prior to serving up the now-famous line, Ed Harris settles into an office chair for a very brief moment. On the table to his left is a plastic bottle of water, a product not yet available when the Apollo 13 flight occurred.
