  • Four years ago, a group of 12 boys and their soccer coach were rescued from a cave in Thailand.
  • 2
  • Now, their story has been told by award-winning American filmmaker Ron Howard in his new film Thirteen Lives.
  • 3
  • The children and their coach were exploring the Tham Luang cave in northern Thailand's Chiang Rai in June 2018.
  • 4
  • Heavy rains flooded the cave and trapped them underground.
  • 5
  • They survived nine days in a partly flooded area of the cave before being discovered by two British divers.
  • 6
  • But it took members of Thailand's navy and international volunteers another eight days to bring them to safety.
  • 7
  • Thirteen Lives recreates what happened inside the cave and above it on the ground during those 17 days.
  • 8
  • Volunteers, engineers and soldiers removed millions of liters of water from the cave.
  • 9
  • They also drilled through rocks looking for openings to reach the boys.
  • 10
  • Howard spoke to Reuters at the film's first showing in London earlier this week.
  • 11
  • He said, "It's not just about the heroic divers...it really is an entire community and a country and a lot of countries ultimately participating and making something amazing come true."
  • 12
  • The film stars American Viggo Mortensen and Ireland's Colin Farrell as British divers Rick Stanton and John Volanthen.
  • 13
  • Australian actor Joel Edgerton plays the part of Harry Harris.
  • 14
  • Harris was brought on to help when possible ways to save the boys were running out.
  • 15
  • The Thai performers in the movie included professional and nonprofessional actors.
  • 16
  • Many of the young boys playing the members of the soccer team had no acting experience.
  • 17
  • Stanton, Volanthen and members of the international rescue dive team attended the London showing.
  • 18
  • They praised Howard's representation of the events.
  • 19
  • "I think it's good for people to know what happened. It's not a documentary, but it's pretty much true to life," Stanton said.
  • 20
  • Thirteen Lives will be released in a small number of U.S. and British theaters on July 29.
  • 21
  • It will be released worldwide on the Amazon Prime Video service on August 5.
