Triple bill of films starring Tom Hanks. In 'Apollo 13' (1995), the mission, manned by astronauts Lovell (Hanks), Swigert (Kevin Bacon) and Haise (Bill Paxton), starts out as a routine spaceflight which generates little media interest. But all that changes when an oxygen tank explosion cripples the ship and prompts the immortal line, 'Houston ... we have a problem'. Now Lovell and his crew have to struggle to keep going, while at Mission Control their colleagues Kranz (Ed Harris) and Mattingly (Gary Sinise) do everything they can to bring them home. Hanks' Oscar-winning performance in 'Philadelphia' (1993) as a gay man dying of AIDS brought the modern disease to mainstream Hollywood. Hanks plays Andrew Beckett, a lawyer who is fired when his boss discovers that he has AIDS. He then engages the services of homophobic lawyer Joe Miller (Denzel Washington) to take his company to court. In 'The Da Vinci Code' (2006), respected American religious symbology expert Dr Robert Langdon (Hanks) is summoned to the Louvre by the French version of the FBI, led by Captain Bezu Fache (Jean Reno). He soon discovers that he is the prime suspect for the murder of an historian Langdon had been scheduled to meet with. Assisted by French cryptographer and government agent Sophie (Audrey Tautou), Langdon is challenged to decipher a chain of cryptic codes and puzzles, all the while trying to stay ahead of Fache's lawmen in a chase through the Louvre, and out into the Parisian cityscape, and finally across the channel to England. Can Langdon and Sophie decipher the nature of a secret dating back to Leonardo Da Vinci and earlier before those responsible for the historian's murder add them to their hit list?
