Apollo 13 Structure

Apollo 13 is an ideal model for a Rescue Sequence structure. The engineers in Houston can help, but everything is really up to the amazing crew to save themselves. Note how Act III is quite short - we know the outcome historically and the trip through earth's atmosphere is only 4 minutes long. There are some very notable emotional foreshadowing scenes. Used copies of the screenplay of Apollo 13 are available from Amazon via the tab above. The Screenplay Summary comes with a free 132-page transcript of the dialogue.
