From the Earth to the Moon is a 12-part 1998 HBO television miniseries co-produced by Ron Howard, Brian Grazer, Tom Hanks, and Michael Bostick, telling the story of the Apollo program during the 1960s and early 1970s in docudrama format. Largely based on Andrew Chaikin's book, A Man on the Moon, the series is known for its accurate telling of the story of Apollo and the special effects under visual director Ernest D. Farino.

The series takes its title from, but is not based upon, the Jules Verne science fiction novel From the Earth to the Moon. Hanks appears in every episode, introducing each of the first eleven. The last episode is represented in a pseudo-documentary format narrated by Blythe Danner, interspersed with a reenactment of the making of Georges Méliès' film Le Voyage dans la Lune. Hanks narrates and appears in these scenes as Méliès' assistant.

Great series. I’ve watched it a couple dozen times over the years.

Really great miniseries that doesn't get enough credit these days. Really surprised that people haven't talked about this more considering all the awesome actors in it. The CG is pretty damn good for '98 and still holds up for the most part. Wish they would do a retrospective on it with all the cast thats still around

Nice behind-the-scenes too

The only complaint I have with this series is Aldrin comes off looking like he was a bit of an ass.
