The Apollo 13 movie is based on the true story of the unfortunate 13th Apollo mission bound for the moon. In the movie, astronauts Jim Lovell, Haise and Jack Swigert were scheduled to fly Apollo 14, but are moved up to Apollo 13. It's 1970, and America has already achieved their lunar landing goal, so there's little interest in this "routine" flight of Apollo 13 until that is, things go very wrong, and projection of a secure return fade. Stranded 205,000 miles from Earth in a crippled spacecraft, the astronauts fight a desperate battle to survive in the Apollo 13 DVD. Meanwhile, at Mission Control, astronaut Ken Mattingly, flight director Gene Kranz and a heroic ground crew battle against the odds to bring the astronauts home in the Apollo 13 movie. Apollo 13 DVD, nominated for nine academy awards, is now available in a two-disc anniversary addition. The Apollo 13 movie can be yours today by purchasing the Apollo 13 DVD today!
