Storyline

- 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
Based on the true story of 33 miners who go into a mine in Chile to have a big rock get in-between them and the surface, and they have to survive long enough to be rescued.
I thought the movie was very detailed and complete about what the miners and their families went through during this ordeal. I never felt I missed any part of it.
It was never boring, always interesting, which I did not expect, but a lot went on in those three mouths and it was captured wonderfully on the screen.
Antonio Banderas was great as Mario, who kept the men together long enough to survive.
And even though I knew the outcome, the 33 makes you feel for each character, which allows suspense.
Well done and heartwarming, hitting on the rights spots and leaving me all filled up inside.
