<P> `` Houston , we have a problem '' is a popular but erroneous quote from the radio communications between the Apollo 13 astronaut John Swigert and the NASA Mission Control Center ( `` Houston '' ) during the Apollo 13 spaceflight , as the astronauts communicated their discovery of the explosion that crippled their spacecraft . The erroneous wording was popularized by the 1995 film Apollo 13 , a dramatization of the Apollo 13 mission , in which actor Tom Hanks , portraying Mission Commander Jim Lovell , uses that wording , which became one of the film 's taglines . </P>
