Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDue to lack of work, the rescued miners took roles in the production of the movie being filmed about its history in Copiapó, Chile.
- GoofsA 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.

Featured review
A very touching film
This film tells the story of 33 miners in Chile, who are trapped in a caved mine seven hundred metres deep. They have only three days of food in the safety chamber, and no way of contacting the outside world. Fortunately, the persistent minister of mining refuses to give up hope of getting them out alive.
It is very rare that a film makes me cry so much and for so long. Halfway into the film, I'm already in tears because of the miners' despair and desolation. The scene involving a ladder is very affecting. There seems to be no hope, and everything seems to be lost. Their will to survive is remarkable. The herculean rescue effort deserves much praise, while the family members clinging onto the slightest glimpse hope is very touching. Actually, the whole film is very touching. I feel so sorry for the miners, and miners in general because they risk their lives for little in return. Having the surviving miners appearing in the film is an excellent touch, reminding people that this is a true story that happened to these individuals.
