Apollo 13

I would argue that Jim Lovell & his crews' actions, the book Lovell wrote, and NASA's loaning of the Vomit Comit was the cause of this movie's success. All the ingredients were there, Opie just had to not screw it up.

Still a good movie no matter whose "fault" it is. Maybe the same with DVC.

Opie still couldn't resist vilifying the corporations. NASA team members were not happy with that.
