IT It was the most daring rescue attempt that defied all odds. The real-life event that took place in outer space is the subject of this edge-of-the-seat movie. Winner of two Academy Awards Apollo 13, directed by Ron Howard, on HBO on Sunday at 9 pm, starts some 205,000 miles away with the last thing the engineers and scientists at Mission Control wanted to hear. .. "Houston we have a problem." Suddenly, three men face the prospect of dying as no man has died before. With only four days to bring them back to Earth, this compelling drama shows the extraordinary courage, faith and ingenuity of Jim Lovell (Tom Hanks) and Fred Haise (Bill Paxton) - and hundreds more who worked around the clock to bring them back. Apollo 13 is based on the book Lost Moon, written by Jim Lovell and Jeffrey Kluger and is a must-see for all who enjoyed the Star Trek series. — NF
