Apollo 13
October 14 (Tuesday), 7:00 pm. Apollo 13 (1995; color; 2 hours, 19
minutes; PG)
Director Ron Howard’s “Exhilarating story of ill-fated Apollo 13 moon
mission, and how the heroic work of astronaut Jim Lovell and his crew,
combined with the dogged persistence of the NASA team in Houston,
averted tragedy.” (–Leonard Maltin’s Film and Video Guide). Leading roles
played by Tom Hanks, Bill Paxton, Kevin Bacon, Gary Sinise, and Ed
Harris. Nominated for nine Academy Awards including best picture, Apollo
13 will be screened in a new 4K wide-screen restoration directly from
Universal Pictures. “A filmmaker devoted to authenticity meets a project
that doesn't need to be rewritten to be enthralling. When those twin
lightning bolts of preparation and opportunity collide, the result is
magnificent… The result is a film like Apollo 13. –Tampa Bay Times.
Rated PG (parental guidance suggested).
Adults $8, seniors/students/military $7, Capitol Friends $6, children (12
and under) $4.
