Apollo 13 | 1995 | PG | - 2.2.5
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.
LANGUAGE 5 - One F-word, 10 scatological terms, and a handful of milder obscenities.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Space travel, the space program, technology, teamwork.
MESSAGE - Keep working until you find a solution; never give up.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
