I saw Cave Rescue.

From what I can understand, this is the 4th movie-or documentary-in the last 3 years that has been made about this incident. The Cave in 2019, The Rescue in in 2021 & 13 Lives in 2022-by Ron Howard-were the first 3. In case you are unfamiliar with the story, in 2018, a soccer team consisting of 12 teens-ages 11 to 16-and their 25 year old coach were trapped in a massive cave situated in Thailand when a monsoon hit, flooding them in. They were trapped for 10 days before they could even be reached but it took longer-2 weeks total-before they could get anyone out. They could bring them supplies and food but not much else. With the red tape of getting permission from government officials to help in the first place and the logistics of getting them out alive-it took 5 hour dives just to reach them-makes up the majority of the story. There were international highly trained divers wanting to help anyway they could and some of the people that were actually there are playing themselves in the movie. It's an interesting story but I think 4 movies in 3 years is a little much.

It's rated PG-13 for language and has a running time of 1 hour & 39 minutes.

It's not one that I would buy on DVD but if you are interested, it would be alright as a rental.
