The Rescue

The Rescue chronicles the enthralling, against-all-odds story that transfixed the world in 2018: the daring rescue of twelve boys and their coach from deep inside a flooded cave in Northern Thailand. Academy Award-winning directors and producers E. Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin (Free Solo, Meru) keep viewers on the edge of their seats as they use a wealth of never-before-seen material and exclusive interviews to piece together the high stakes mission. The Rescue brings to life one of the most perilous and extraordinary rescues in modern times, shining a light on the high-risk world of cave diving, the astounding courage and compassion of the rescuers, and the shared humanity of the international community that united to save the boys.

"Unfolds with stunning precision, letting the people who were there tell the story, and never softening their unique personalities."
Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com
"A stunning documentary of bone-deep moral resonance and cinematic mastery that deserves to be experienced on the big screen."
Tomris Laffly, Variety
