A new featurette for the gripping, real-life survival story of THE 33 has been released, showcasing how the groundbreaking rescue of the Chilean miners became the news story that gripped the world.. Take a look at the video above.Â
In 2010, the eyes of the world turned to Chile, where 33 miners had been buried alive by the collapse of a gold and copper mine. Over the next 69 days, an international team worked tirelessly in a desperate attempt to rescue the trapped men as their families and friends, as well as millions of people they had never even met, waited anxiously for any sign of hope. But 200 stories beneath the surface, provisions—and time—were quickly running out. Â
THE 33 is a story of resilience, personal transformation and triumph of the human spirit, the film takes us to the Earth’s darkest depths, exploring the private lives and psyches of the men trapped in the mine, and depicting the courage of those who refused to give up, starring Antonio Banderas and Juliette Binoche.Â
The movie was filmed with the cooperation of the real-life miners, their families and their rescuers and shows the never-before-seen personal journeys that unfolded, above and below ground, which became nothing less than a global phenomenon.
THE 33 arrives in cinemas January 29th, 2016.
