‘The 33’ Trailer: Antonio Banderas Leads The Chilean Miner Movie
By Angie Han/March 31, 2015 11:30 am EST
Antonio Banderas, Lou Diamond Phillips, and Juan Pablo Raba play miners Mario Sepúlveda, Luis Urzua, and Darío Segovia; Rodrigo Santoro is Chilean Minister of Mining Laurence Golborne; Gabriel Byrne is engineer Andre Sougarret, who leads the rescue mission; and Juliette Binoche is María Segovia, sister of Darío. Patricia Riggen directs. Take a look at the first The 33 trailer after the jump.
Despite the fact that we already know all 33 of these men will miraculously make it to safety (uh, spoiler alert), there’s plenty of drama and tension here. And it’s less claustrophobic than you might expect, because rather than focus exclusively on the miners’ ordeal, the film also covers the goings-on aboveground. Various officials concoct plans to deal with the incident, rescue workers of all stripes carry out said plans, and family members and friends of the miners lean on each other during this trying period.
The 33 opens August 6 in Chile — five years almost to the day from the initial cave-in. No U.S. release date has been set, but we can probably expect it out sometime this year.
