The nearly fatal Apollo 13 mission is detailed in this film
by Ron Howard. With Tom Hanks, Bill Paxton, Kevin Bacon and Gary Sinise.
SEX/NUDITY 2 - A man and woman hug and he puts his face between her clothed
bosom briefly. Some sexual references and a couple of kisses. A woman is shown in a shower
and we see shoulders and legs. A man exits a shower and wraps a towel around him while his
date asks him to stay in the shower with her (we don't see her until she exits the shower
with a towel wrapped around herself).
VIOLENCE/GORE 2 - A woman dreams of an explosion in space and sees
astronauts bumping each other in the space module, and one man being sucked out into
space. Many explosions, some of which result in dangerous situations. The astronauts yell
at each other in one scene, and a few other scenes of the astronauts bumping heads.
PROFANITY 5 - One F-word, 10 scatological terms, and a handful of milder
obscenities. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Space travel, the space program, technology, teamwork.
MESSAGE - Keep working until you find a solution; never give up.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process. |
