Ron Howard directs Academy Award® winner Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, Bill Paxton, Gary Sinise and Ed Harris in a riveting suspense-thriller from Imagine Entertainment. Stranded 205,000 miles from Earth in a crippled spacecraft, astronauts Jim Lovell (Hanks), Fred Haise (Paxton) and Jack Swigert (Bacon) fight a desperate battle to survive. Meanwhile, at Mission Control, astronaut Ken Mattingly (Sinise), flight director Gene Kranz (Harris) and a heroic ground crew race against time—and odds—to bring them home. It's a breathtaking adventure that tells a story of courage, faith and ingenuity that is all the more remarkable because it is true! NASA's worst nightmare turned into one of the space agency's most heroic moments in 1970, when the Apollo 13 crew was forced to hobble home in a disabled capsule after an explosion seriously damaged the moon-bound spacecraft. Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, and Bill Paxton play (respectively) astronauts Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert, and Fred Haise in director Ron Howard's intense, painstakingly authentic docudrama. The Apollo 13 crew and Houston-based mission controllers race against time and heavy odds to return the damaged spacecraft safely to Earth from a distance of 205,500 miles. Using state-of-the-art special effects and ingenious filmmaking techniques, Howard and his stellar cast and crew build nail-biting tension while maintaining close fidelity to the facts. The result is a fitting tribute to the Apollo 13 mission and one of the biggest box-office hits of 1995. --Jeff Shannon Review: Tom Hanks in a great movie - Great movie and we loved Tom Hanks Review: Apollo13: The Story of REAL Heroes - Okay, for you technophiles, Universal did a good job in the transfer to DVD. The colors are vivid and the picture is razor sharp. Sound quality is great and the overall experience is worth the price of admission. Save your money and buy the single disc set. The second disc is an edited IMAX version and the "extras" on the second disc are so so. All of the "good" extras are on the single disc version. Now for the REAL story. Plain and simple, these guys were heroes in every sense of the word. They risked their lives for what they believed in, without heavenly financial compensation (they got their regular pay, plus flight pay, plus hazardous duty pay) In today's dollars that about $300 flight pay and $125 a month to risk your life. Many of the men in this program had families. Truly a contrast to today's heroes (Sports Figures) who act like spoiled brats and cry if they get a hang-nail. All this, while collecting a salary the would support 100 families in the US. I'd like to see any of today's heroes maintain their composure while everything around them is failing. If you lose a ball game, there is always next year. If you "lose" in space, you're dead. I grew up in the 60's with the space program and this film is a true testiment to the courage, skill, dedication, and selflessness of the entire NASA team. Kind of a interesting closing point. Take note when Tom Hanks (Comm. Jim Lovell) is on the carrier deck after splash down/pick-up. He shakes the hand of a Navy Captain (left side of frame). That is THE Jim Lovell (Captain, USN Retired) and he is wearing HIS original Navy uniform, still fits him after all these years. Nice touch on the part of Director Ron Howard and great tribute film to the men who gave their all for their country and each other. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Bill Paxton, Brian Grazer, Chris Ellis, David Andrews, Ed Harris, Emily Ann Lloyd, Gary Sinise, Jean Speegle Howard, Kathleen Quinlan, Kevin Bacon, Mary Kate Schellhardt, Max Elliott Slade, Miko Hughes, Ron Howard, Tom Hanks Contributor Bill Paxton, Brian Grazer, Chris Ellis, David Andrews, Ed Harris, Emily Ann Lloyd, Gary Sinise, Jean Speegle Howard, Kathleen Quinlan, Kevin Bacon, Mary Kate Schellhardt, Max Elliott Slade, Miko Hughes, Ron Howard, Tom Hanks See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 5,336 Reviews | | Format | AC-3, Anamorphic, Closed-captioned, Collector's Edition, Color, Dolby, Dubbed, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Special Edition, Subtitled, Widescreen Format AC-3, Anamorphic, Closed-captioned, Collector's Edition, Color, Dolby, Dubbed, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Special Edition, Subtitled, Widescreen See more | | Genre | Action & Adventure, Drama, Mystery & Suspense, Mystery & Suspense/Thrillers | | Initial release date | 2010-10-05 | | Language | English, Spanish | ## Product Details - **Genre:** Action & Adventure, Drama, Mystery & Suspense, Mystery & Suspense/Thrillers - **Initial release date:** 2010-10-05 - **Language:** English, Spanish ## Images ![Apollo 13 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91OzE1yCK+L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tom Hanks in a great movie *by S***T on April 3, 2026* Great movie and we loved Tom Hanks ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Apollo13: The Story of REAL Heroes *by M***S on September 30, 2008* Okay, for you technophiles, Universal did a good job in the transfer to DVD.

Tom hanks and Ron Howard made an absolute gem. Will make you proud to be an American again. The 4k uhd version goes next level. Crank up the sub, dim the lights and get the popcorn. I won’t ruin the ending for you - they may or may not make it back to earth! ## Frequently Bought Together - Apollo 13 - The Martian - October Sky --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://frenchpolynesia.desertcart.com/products/3830830-apollo-13](https://frenchpolynesia.desertcart.com/products/3830830-apollo-13) --- *Product available on Desertcart French Polynesia* *Store origin: PF* *Last updated: 2026-09-03*
