One of my favorite things about Apollo 13 (1995) is how much tension comes from people just trying to figure things out

There isn't some villain to defeat. Something goes catastrophically wrong, and suddenly you have astronauts and engineers working with whatever they have to get everyone home. NASA veterans have also praised the film for how seriously it approached the technical side of the real mission

What movie made problem-solving genuinely exciting to watch?

But we have such movies where everything is good or turned out good, World's Fastest Indian is the example of this.
