Apollo 13 shows Americans overcoming very American-type problems,I second this - It's a wonderful movie showing how we improvise, adapt, and overcome.

Apollo 13 (the real one) was probably the greatest technological achievement ever. Not because we got the ship into space, but that when everything went wrong, we got it and the crew back.
Jim Lovell, Mission Commander wrote an exceleltn book about it entitled "Lost Moon." The movie script was an adaptation of the book.
