When a youth football team of 12 boys, aged 11-16, and their 25-year-old coach is trapped deep inside a cave in Northern Thailand, thousands of volunteers and soldiers from around the world unite in a race against time to find them. Once the boys are found alive ten days later, the only way out is an impossible five-hour dive-swim that only expert cave divers could survive. In Ireland, airplane factory electrician and recreational cave diver gets the call: "How soon can you be here?" Arriving in Thailand, Jim steps off the plane and into the cave - a knife-edge three-day mission is underway. Based on true events, THE CAVE tells the thrilling story of the largest international rescue mission of modern times, from the unique perspective of the men and women facing life-and-death decisions and displaying selfless determination and sacrifice, culminating in a triumphant outcome against all the odds.
In the summer of 2018, the world was transfixed by the plight of a Thai boys football team trapped in a flooded cave for over two weeks. Against all odds, the boys were rescued in a daring and difficult mission thanks to an international coalition of divers and experts. Its a story made for the movies, and Thai-Irish director () adds an extra dose of realism to the nail-biting tension: four divers recruited for the mission play themselves in this stirring account of a human miracle. Focusing on the rescue efforts, the film uses a journalistic style in taking us to the chaotic, multilingual base camp and into the dark waters of the cave with the divers. Waller lays out the daunting logistics and risks of the rescue mission with clarity and urgency as they unfold against a background of local Thai culture and spirituality. This unsentimental yet moving tribute to the heroism and humanity of those, from all walks of life, who cared and sacrificed for the boys encapsulates why the story captured peoples imagination in the first place.
