In this historical docudrama film based on the Apollo 13 mission events on, known as the seventh manned mission in the American Apollo space program, actors Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, and Bill Paxton who played the roles of Jim Lovell (Hanks), Jack Swigert (Bacon), Fred Haise (Paxton), the mission crew. With intent to land on the moon, the craft launched April 11, 1970 with its three passengers aboard. April 15, 1970, the craft went into orbit with the moon. Their mission was to collect soil samples as well as run experiments, and their scheduled return to Earth was set for April

The crew on board, consisting of Lovell, Swigert, and Haise, were immediately forced to seek refuge in Aquarius in order to survive as this explosion triggered a multiple systems failure.
