I'll have to echo what Stevo said. There is no "star", many of the military and aviation personnel involved played themselves, there is no "treatment" that films usually go through to enhance characters, the only way Todd Beamer is recognizable is when he says, "let's roll".
There's no relatives on the ground watching TV helplessly or any of that other stuff that goes on in movies like Apollo 13.
The most reconizable cast member was Denny Dillon. The movie was not a typical Hollywood production by any means.
The director was Paul Greengrass, an avowed British liberal.
