Rather than fake weightlessness, Ron Howard flew his cast and crew on a plane that free-falls toward the earth, over and over, to shoot it for real. John, Westy, and Matt begin the story. In Part 1 we cover the film's opening, director Ron Howard, the cast, and the second act — including Tom Hanks leading the crew, the obsessive period detail, and how Howard builds tension from an outcome much of the audience already knows. Splashdown's still a way off. Part 2, covering the crew, the finale, reception, and the film's legacy, is available now.
