What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on the book “Lost Moon,” written by astronaut Jim Lovell in collaboration with Jeffrey Kluger. Like the book, the film tells the story of real events that occurred in April 1970.
- Scenes on the spacecraft requiring weightlessness were filmed in actual zero-gravity conditions during flights on a parabolic trajectory laboratory aircraft (descent-ascent-descent, etc.). Two cramped cabins – exact replicas of the interior spaces of the Apollo spacecraft – were equipped on board the aircraft for filming.
- After the film's release, Lovell stated that his character was portrayed very implausibly.
- Actor Ed Harris, who played the head of Mission Control, Gene Kranz, in the film *Gravity* (2013), voiced the Mission Control director.
- Apollo 13 commander Jim Lovell himself appeared in a cameo role in the film. In the film's finale, he, as one of the officers on the deck of the aircraft carrier Hornet, shakes hands with Tom Hanks, who is playing him.
- The film depicts an episode of transferring equipment from the lunar module to the command module. Such an operation did indeed take place, but the reason for it is stated incorrectly. The film states that the spacecraft is following an incorrect trajectory because it is “too light.” In reality, the deviation from the ballistic trajectory was caused by the lunar module's electronics cooling system. Water leaking into the vacuum created an uncompensated reactive force. The command module was loaded with equipment for another reason – the landing program of the 'Odyssey' onboard computer contained a specific weight, including 45 kilograms of lunar rocks.
- Actor Ed Harris, who played Gene Kranz, the Flight Director in the film "Gravity" (2013), voiced the Flight Director.
