Antonio Banderas and Lou Diamond Phillips in The 33 (2015)
In 2010, 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.

    • Trivia
      Due to lack of work, the rescued miners took roles in the production of the movie being filmed about its history in Copiapó, Chile.
    • Goofs
      A magnet was not used to get the broken drill bit out. In fact they had to manufacture on site what's called a "spider drill" which had an open spiral toothed design at the end of the drill to try to surround the broken bit. Using the pressure of down force, the teeth would collapse around the bit to capture it.
    • Quotes

      Mario Sepúlveda: That's not a rock, that's the heart of the mountain. She finally broke.

    • Crazy credits
      The last scene shows, in black and white, the real 33 miners gathered on a beach, and credits each of them individually.

    Good movie

    I enjoyed watching this true story about 33 Chilean miners trapped in a mine. It was a good story about resilience, the human spirit, and working together. I also loved the Elvis impersonator. Even though I knew they were going to be rescued, the story still kept me on the edge of my seat. The cast worked well together, and everything about this movie was well done. The mine scenes were riveting.

    *** out of ****.
