33, The

The 33 takes place in 2010 when the eyes of the world turned to Chile, where 33 miners had been buried alive by the catastrophic explosion and collapse of a 100-year-old gold and copper mine. Over the next 69 days, an international team worked night and day in a desperate attempt to rescue the trapped men as their families and friends, as well as millions of people globally, waited and watched anxiously for any sign of hope. But 200 stories beneath the surface, in the suffocating heat and with tensions rising, provisions—and time—were quickly running out. This is a story of resilience, personal transformation, and triumph of the human spirit. Based on the gripping true story of survival—and filmed with the cooperation of the miners, their families, and their rescuers. Based on the book Deep Down Dark by Hector Tobar. (Gary Reber)
