Plots(1)
In 2010, 33 Chilean miners were buried alive following a catastrophic mine collapse. For 69 days, a team worked night and day to rescue the men as their families and the world waited for any sign of hope. Underground, in the suffocating heat 200 stories down, tensions ran high as provisions - and time - began to run out. Antonio Banderas stars in this gripping tale of resilience, faith and the triumph of the human spirit based on the amazing true race against time. (Roadshow Entertainment)

I actually remember hearing about the Chilean miners' story when it happened, so it was only a matter of time before Hollywood jumped on it. Sure enough, it’s turned into a heartfelt, uplifting movie with a happy ending. And to be fair, they did a solid job with it. Antonio Banderas brings some star power, and I appreciate how they stuck close to the real events. Definitely worth the watch if you’re into survival stories with a dash of Hollywood drama.

I expected it to be a bit more sentimental, which it ultimately wasn't, but on the other hand, the emotions I anticipated weren't there either. What I liked was the acting of some pretty big names who let themselves be rather overshadowed by the rescue mission itself. They didn't want to stand out, and I liked that a lot about their performances.
