The near disaster of Apollo 13, by the people who flew it and saved it. When an explosion cripples the mission, astronauts and Nasa battle failing systems to bring the crew home. Apollo 13 was meant to be the third Moon landing, but a catastrophic oxygen tank explosion turned it into one of the greatest rescue missions in space history. With their spacecraft losing power and oxygen, astronauts Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert, and Fred Haise are forced to take refuge in the lunar module - never designed to support three men for so long. As temperatures drop and carbon dioxide levels rise, mission control races to improvise life-saving solutions, while the world watches anxiously.
