Apollo 13 |

Year: Cast: Tom Hanks |

Synopsis: An excellent film about the Apollo 13 space mission which went drastically wrong. This film is full of drama, some hunour but almost a documentary on the acheivements of man, and their dedication to helping others in need. |

Points of Interest to Film Studies Students: Very little NASA footage was used in the film, Director Ron Howard depended on models and CG images for the effects sequances. The detail is amazing, in the 'making of...' at the end of the videotape it shows the real NASA archive footage of Apollo 13, and you can see the details on the spaceships, even words used are recreated by the actors and technicians. |
