From J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot comes an epic, real-life adventure in space:

Odyssey will retell humanity’s most dramatic mission to space, minute by breathtaking minute, unfolding the unbelievable true story of the seven days in 1970 when the whole world was anxiously looking up at the sky, waiting to see if our astronauts would make it back home alive.

Shockingly, this story’s remarkably rich, compelling, and winding twists and turns have largely been forgotten, and never experienced before as a premium documentary.

Set to a contemporary, electronic score and told as a suspenseful all-archival thriller in the vein of Gravity meets Apollo 11, our film will utilize exclusive access to NASA’s stunning, never-before-seen footage from deep in their archive vaults, re-digitized and remastered for a gorgeous IMAX and cinematic experience.

“Never in human history has the entire world been so united by such a global drama” — Walter Cronkite

Apollo 13 was the most widely watched breaking-news event the world had ever seen.

Thanks to the recent development of mass media, it was the first ongoing televised crisis that people all over the globe could follow in real time, causing a worldwide shudder: a billion people, one-third of the world’s population, watched together on Earth, desperately awaiting every new piece of information and tracking the harrowing drama. The three astronauts would either make it back to Earth safely... or become the first men to die in space.

The action will occur simultaneously on the spacecraft with the astronauts, in mission control with the ground crew, in the homes of the astronauts’ families, and in the unprecedented nonstop coverage on TV, radio, and in newspapers. Our film will be a time capsule, plunging us back into that incredible week, as we watch the drama unfold live before our eyes...
