Ron Howards‘ film about the ill-fated 13th Apollo mission bound for the moon, Apollo 13, opened on this date.

Ron Howard stated that, after the first test preview of the film, one of the comment cards indicated “total disdain“; the audience member had written that it was a “typical Hollywood” ending and that the crew would never have survived.
