Apollo 13 is a film of inspiration. Based on the true story of the Apollo that didn't make it to the moon (after 11 and before 17). The stars (Tom Hanks,Gary Sinise, Kevin Bacon, Bill Paxton, Kathleen Quinlann, and Ed Harris) and director Ron Howard all make this film great. Not to mention the fantastic effects, the story, and other things. Well done in terms of cinema and humanity. A+
