		For Ron Howard, the defining moment came at the age of five, and the crucial decision was made for him by his father.

		For Howard surely recognized that he was once again depending upon charismatic co-stars (like Harrison FORD, Richard Dreyfuss, and Henry Winkler) whose prospects for long-term success were far greater than his.
		This is not to say that Howard came into directing completely without relevant talents: feeling comfortable in the milieu of filmmaking is an asset in itself, and the man manifestly works hard to maintain his valuable connections and oversee the many complexities of film production in the maddening modern industry.
		Howard spent the next seven years strengthening his résumé by branching out into other genres, but he drifted back in the direction of science fiction with Apollo 13, where an idiot-proof true-life dramatic story proved to be actually idiot-proof.
