Houston, We've Got a Problem

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Houston, We've Got a Problem is a 1974 television film, directed by Lawrence Doheny and starring Ed Nelson in the role of Gene Kranz.

Very little of the focus of the movie was on the Apollo 13 space flight itself, mostly a news-announcer type voice-over of archival news footage. Instead, the movie focused on fictional personal crises among members of the Mission Control crew.

On seeing the movie, astronaut Jim Lovell wrote a letter to TV Guide in which he commented, given all these medical and relationship crises, it was safer aboard the stricken spaceship than it was at Mission Control.
