After an explosion rocked the Apollo 13 spacecraft, astronaut Jim Lovell and his flight crew faced a life-or-death situation as their vessel began to lose power and leak precious oxygen into outer space. Rather than giving in to fear or dismay, the crew needed to find a way to survive and return safely to Earth. One of the most heroic tales of all time, this incredible true story demonstrates the undeniable power of hope, teamwork, discipline, and perseverance.
