Man in Space Documentary Double Feature: The Flight of Apollo 11: Eagle Has Landed (1969)/Apollo 13: Houston, We've Got a Problem (1972)

THE FLIGHT OF APOLLO 11: EAGLE HAS LANDED (1969): A step-by-step filmed presentation of the first Moon landing - from the initial launch out of Cape Canaveral, Florida, to the recovery of astronauts Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong, and Michael Collins in the Pacific Ocean 800 miles from the coast of Hawaii, with a special emphasis on the exploration of the eerie lunar surface. The definitive eyewitness account of the Apollo 11 mission, Eagle Has Landed won numerous awards including the "Gold Camera" at the U.S. Industrial Film Festival. An irrefutable highlight of the film is the haunting score composed by the legendary Bernardo Segál (The Great St. Louis Bank Robbery).

APOLLO 13: HOUSTON, WE'VE GOT A PROBLEM (1972): The story of the pulse-pounding return of Apollo 13 after an explosion on board turned the mission from the next scheduled lunar landing to a desperate fight for survival. Only cooperation and coordination between the flight crew and ground control can keep the three astronauts alive as a stunned world watches on TV with baited breath. Houston, We've Got a Problem is required viewing for fans of Ron Howard's Apollo 13, if only to see how historically accurate that film is, down to the dialogue!
