==Depiction in film and television== The 1995 Ron Howard film ''[[Apollo 13 (film)|Apollo 13]]'', a dramatization of that mission starring [[Tom Hanks]], [[Kevin Bacon]], and [[Bill Paxton]], was filmed using realistic spacecraft interior reconstructions of the ''Aquarius'' and the Command Module ''Odyssey''. In 2013, in the television show ''[[Arrested Development]]'', a fictionalized version of Howard is depicted as having the Apollo 11 "LEM" in his office, which his character claims was used to [[Moon landing conspiracy theories|fake the 1969 moon landing]]. The development and construction of the lunar module is dramatized in the 1998 miniseries ''[[From the Earth to the Moon (miniseries)|From the Earth to the Moon]]'' episode entitled [[From the Earth to the Moon (miniseries)#Episodes|"Spider"]]. This is in reference to LM-3, used on Apollo 9, which the crew named ''Spider'' after its spidery appearance. The unused LM-13 stood in during the teleplay to depict LM-3 and LM-5, ''Eagle'', used by Apollo 11. The Apollo 11 [[Lunar Module Eagle|Lunar Module ''Eagle'']] is depicted in the 2018 film ''[[First Man (film)|First Man]]'', a biopic of [[Neil Armstrong]]. The 2024 film ''[[Fly Me to the Moon]]'' is set against the backdrop of the Apollo 11 mission; in the film, the co-protagonist is tasked with creating a fake moon landing in case the actual mission fails.
