The film follows Richard Stanton (Mortensen), John Volanden (Farrell) and Richard Harris (Etgerton), three outside experts hired for their knowledge of cave diving. The three are working, along with many other international parties and the Thai military, to help rescue members of the boys’ soccer team who were trapped in Tham Luang Cave during a flash flood that left most of the cave below. water. Because diving in a cave is more difficult and complicated than diving in the open ocean, all three must work fast to figure out how to better transport children and save as much as possible. The first trailer of Thirteen Lives already looks like a tense and somewhat frightening dramatization of the real rescue. But if you are looking for a preview of the film through the events on which it is based, you can also watch last year’s documentary The Rescue, which follows first hand the efforts of the crew.
