Apollo 13 launched from Kennedy Space Center, Florida, heading towards the Moon on its mission to perform lunar landing and exploration.
An oxygen tank in the service module exploded, causing a critical failure that endangered the spacecraft and its crew, forcing the mission to be aborted.
Due to the explosion and loss of oxygen and power, the planned lunar landing was aborted and the crew prepared for a safe return to Earth.
The Apollo 13 crew safely returned to Earth and splashed down in the Pacific Ocean, thanks to the NASA mission control team's efforts and the astronauts' actions.

I need to rewatch this and see if it moves from a like to a favorite for me. I forget about it, see it mentioned, and remember that it was way better than I thought it was going to be. This is a great one to watch if you haven't yet.

Finally got to see this in theaters - it's a lovely movie. One of the higher quality family-friendly sci fi movies in a LONG time. The part I liked least about the book was the humor - movie was the same. Which speaks to how good the adaptation was.
This is the best action movie of all time!
