2. Apollo 13 (1995)
Ron Howard directed Apollo 13 as a dramatization of NASA's 1970 mission, which becomes a desperate fight for survival when an onboard explosion is caused. With Tom Hanks as the actor, the film features how human genius and teamwork will flourish under duress. This iconic phrase-"Failure is not an option"- uttered by the head of mission control Gene Kranz- resonated throughout. Apollo 13 was technically very accurate, for NASA had approved its making. It immortalizes the crew's excellent resilience and innovation of the ground team, bringing to the minds of the audience memories of the exploring spirit and problem-solving even amidst insurmountable challenges.
