Did I ever told you that? You have the best butt on Copiapo.
You are crazy!
- Hey Mario. - Hey Manuel.
Come on, Copiapo!
Lucho...
Tomorrow is my free day, but...
I would like to work.
I'm kind of short of money.
Tomorrow?
I know there is a lot of people asking you for the same thing, but...
You got it.
Thats it? You're not going to fight me over it?
I not gonna fight you.
Thank you very much, Copiapo!
Hola, Jessi.
Hello, Don Jose.
Alex, I found a job for you.
Rodrigo is gonna be looking for some help in the bodyshop.
We talked about this last time.
What's he gonna pay me, Dad?
50 a week?
You lovebirds got the sonogram yet?
- It's a boy. - It's a girl.
It's a boy. It's a boy.
Alex, talk to him.
Rodrigo, How are you man?
- You talked to your old man? - Ya.
- How much you gonna pay? - 50 a week.
- You're gonna have a Baby.
Get your ass out of that mine.
Someone fill this old man's glass.
Mario Gomez!
Congratulations on your retirement.
45 years in mining.
The bravest man I ever met.
Gomez!
Forty-six!
Forty-six.
Empanadas!
Cheese, chicken, beef pine!
- Good morning, Mary! - Empanadas!
Dario.
I know you're not sleeping, little brother.
I do not care if you dont eat them.
I'll always be here.
They're still warm.
Cheese, chicken, beef pine! Empanadas!
Yonni, the bus is here!
What is she doing here, Yonni?
You live with me now.
I'm his wife, you bitch.
Why do you do this to yourself?
I made your breakfast.
Would you prepared breakfast?
I cooked breakfast, it does.
I didn't say I did not want it.
Guys, guys!
Here comes Don Giovanni. Check this out.
We have to find a solution.
Hey Mario!
You couldn't find a mistress who lives on the other side of town?
Admit it, you're jealous.
Ahh..! Believe me, I am not.
Do not.
I love you!
Still not die, Segovia?
Not yet pastor.
Getting there.
Bolivian!
Loser!
I found this on level 3.
So?
We put these mirrors in the cracks, so we know when the mountain shifts.
She's an old mine.
The mountain is going to shift.
The mirrors are going to break.
I think we should get a health-check on the ramp.
- We may be looking.. - The ramp is good rock.
The mine is got another 20 years left in there.
- We may be looking at
a weakness in the mountain's internal structure.
Marco, Its my job to keep these men safe.
Correction.
Your job, Lucho...
Is to keep these men pulling out 250 tons a day.
250?
Your quota has gone up.
There is only so much gold in the mountain.
Dario.
Alright, guys, we're working rock bottom today.
Where is Carlos Mamani?
Here.
Everyone!
Say hello to Mamani, our new boy from Bolivia.
He's a tin digger.
What does a tin digger of Bolivia know about mining for gold?
Elvis, not today, huh?
I got him.
Your retirement papers, Gomez!
Two weeks and you're a free man!
Sign them and get'em back to me.
Bravo, Gomez!
Wolves, let's go!
Is that the only way in?
The only way in, the only way out.
You know Elvis did not write his own lyrics, right?
That is blasphemy.
After a while you'll also say dancing.
How much longer?
About an hour.
Okay, idiots. You know what to do.
You need to straighten up, Dario.
Yonni, what is that?
Bolivia! Hey, Bolivia!
Kananni, Kachani... What's your name?
Mamani.
Anyway, come over here.
I know, I know. That's the crazy Elvis.
Just always looking for trouble.
He actually thinks he's Elvis.
Rodrigo has offered me a job in his bodyshop.
50 a week. What do you think about that?
50 a week? That's a joke, right?
And are you going to be a father?
That's the problem.
You know what?
You're asking the wrong man.
And I have a terrible hangover.
I do not know, it's the same thing over and over with my dad.
What was that?
This is why we are here.
Ya, I can, I can taste it.
Copper and gold. 1200 an ounce.
Take it.
Cholo, are you going to stick that in your pocket for your mama?
What did you say?
Everyone knows that Bolivians are a bunch of thieves.
It's stupid, you know that?.
Chile stile this land.
After the war of 1881.
Who are the thieves?
That was in 1881, you know?
Run now! Run! Run!
What the hell?
Dario! No!
Alex, pull me out!
Pull me out!
Do not let me fall!
- Hold on, Dario!

Run! Run!
Gómez.
Gomez!
Alex!
Are you alright?
Come here.
Quick!
Stay with him.
- Are you okay, Gomez? - Ya.
Let's get you up.
- Pastor - Where is the pastor?
Henriquez.
Okay! Pull!
Elvis.
Are you okay, man?
Boys.
You have to see this.
That's a big rock.
That's not a rock.
That's the heart of the mountain.
She finally broke.
Yes sir.
Yes.
I've got my people checking it out now,yes.
Will keep it contained.
I'll make sure no one leaves.
Come on! Come on!
Let's go!
Hey Jose, there's been a collapse in the mine.
They're locking us down.
I'll call the news.
Nobody leave!
Wait, Don Jose!
Stay here. I will call you later.
No! I'm coming with you!
Hello?
What?
A serious accident has just occured at the San José mine...
40 minutes from Copiapo.
The number of miners trapped inside is yet to be determined...
but the company estimates that 30 men worked below.
29...
30...
31, 32...
33.
We are all here.
Thank God for that.
The refuge is made for 30, so...
So we're okay.
What do you mean?
What do you mean we're okay?
The ramp is blocked, Mario.
There is no road. We have no way out.
What about the chimneys?
There is ladders there.
Too dangerous.
I am not ready to sit down there in the refuge and wait for help!
Mario.
My job is simple.
I have a duty to the safety of these men.
At this moment, the refuge is the safest place.
There is a radio.
There is food.
Some og these guys need patching up.
You know me, I fight.
There is nno way out Until there is no way out.
I'm gonna take on those ladders.
Don Luis. Excuse me.
I'm coming with you.
Alright, come on. Bolivian!
We should make a lot of noise.
Burning tires, bang on pipes.
Make a big rack. You never know.
What are they doing?
We Have to wait.
It's okay.
Hey! Talk to us.
Five hours we've been here!
We told you already.
The company has the situation under control.
Bring Castle!
Do something!
Everybody, Shut up!
Or I'll have you removed!
Now, go home and wait to be contacted!
Who threw that?
I did.
What are you going to do? Shoot me?
Get off the property!
And you too!
All of you!
Get out of here!
Go home!
Come on!
Hey! Where are you all going? Come back.
No please.
Stay! We have to stand our ground. We Have to stay put. Come on!
What do you want us to do, Mary?
They have not told us anything!
That's because they are hiding something.
And there is a reason for that!
No! We have to stand our ground. We Have to stay put.
Where are the rescue teams?
Where are the rescuers?
Where are the drills?
Why isn't anybody doing anything?
My brother is down there!
We're not go anywhere!
We Have to stay here!
She's right!
We want to stay!
Put that down! put that down!
Get used to it!
Stay put!
We're not going anywhere!
Is this a private mine?
Yes sir.
Bohn and Kemeny. Chilean Nationals.
33 men trapped underground.
And we do not even know if they are alive?
The responsibility rests with Bohn and Kemeny.
The government is no obligation to take a position.
We should have no position in this.
- What are they doing about it? - Nothing.
They don't have the capability.
I think the government should show its face.
I'd like to go up there and take a look at it, sir.
You've never set foot in a mine, Laurence.
What makes you think you can make any difference?
You've been in the job for what? 4 months.
If we do not react...
If we bury our heads, it would look like we don't care.
That's bad for the industry and that's bad for Chile.
With all due respect sir, its not about us.
I believe we have a moral Responsibility.
33 lives is a lot of dead people.
Keep going!
Stop!
Come on, Alex.
Someone has to hear.
Lobos...
You are wasting your time.
Nobody is gonna to hear us.
Noone's gonna help us.
Hello, this is Luis Urzua.
I'll check first aid.
Hello, this is Luis Urzua. Can you hear me?
Shit.
What?
There's no more ladder.
What do you mean there is no more ladder?
I'm telling you its not here.
No no no.
No no.
Moving on.
Alex...
We must go back.
Okay.
Dammit.
No no no!
Alex!
- Mario! - Hold on!
Our Father, who art in heaven...
Lord Jesus Christ...
you who are the son of our creator...
we ask you to grant us strength,fortitude...
in our tribulations.
We ask you today...
to protect our families.
It is the government. Hurry up.
Can you please let me through?
We want answers.
That's why I'm here, madam.
But I can't give you answers unless you let me in.
Or I can have them remove you.
Go ahead and try it.
If you want a little riot on TV tonight.
- You are the government, right? - Laurence Golborne.
Minister of Mining.
Well, there are a lot of unhappy people out here, Laurence.
It's been 2 days and no one has told us anything!
We all know how this goes.
The government shows up...
Some good-looking guy in a suit tells us how much they care.
How much they're going to stop at nothing to save them and then do nothing!
We're not going to stand for it, Laurence!
I want you to promise me, you do something.
I can promise you we're going to do everything we can.
Okay?
Okay, go ahead.
- Move, let them through. - Thank you.
We want answers!
Let's say they are alive.
How long do they have?
Assuming...
They are alive and they makeit to the refuge...
There is enough food and water for three days.
And what attempts have been made to reach them?
I sent a crew of my men down.
Couple of them were almost killed.
So, what can we do next, Mr. Castillo?
Nothing.
Well, what's protocol, then?
Protocol?
This mountain is still moving.
I've been a miner for 25 years.
I've seen five collapses.
Do you know how many men we saved?
No one!
Minister, can you tell us anything?
Yes.
The government is assessing the situation.
Are they alive? Do you know?
What did they tell you?
The mine is extremely unstable.
And dangerous for rescuers.
Therefore...
We have to suspend any further rescue attempts for the moment.
You promised!
Grab the minister!
You liar!
Close the gates!
We are leaving!
This way, sir.
You promised!
- Please, it's my father! - My husband is down there!
Plese! Please step back!
Help us!
Lunch time.
I think we should wait for the everyone.
Why?
- I'm hungry. - Dario.
This food is for an emergency.
So, What is this, Yonni? A picnic?
Take it easy.
Come on! I'm going to eat, Yonni. Come on.
Dario, I want you to move. Use your head.
Look at this crap.
Works for me.
You knew, didn't you?
You knew they never finished the ladders.
You Know this place was a death trap...
but you let us come down anyway, Lucho.
Listen...
I asked Castle about the ladders.
I asked again and again.
He had the certification!
Don Lucho!
What's going on there?
Don Lucho!
Give it back to me!
Don Lucho! Look at this!
Give me the key.
Give me the key!
You Grabbed the food!
What are you doing, Dario?
- I'm having lunch. - Oh, having lunch
You're having lunch?
It is my food.
Calmed down! Enough!
Aug!
Enough! Enough!
Calm down!
Its just some cookies. What's the big deal?
What's the big deal?
Let me tell you.
There is no ladders to climb.
- And the chimneys just caved in. - What?
And there is a huge rock blocking our only way out of here.
Guys.
We are buried alive.
That's the big deal.
This is all the food we have left to keep us alive!
We Have to ration it carefully!
If we plan on surviving down here until we are rescued!
Rescued?
Do you hear any drills?
That is because there's no drilling for us.
We are too far down.
It took 100 years for them to dig this deep.
How long do you think that's gonna take?
Do you think the owners are going to Spend that kind of money?
They didn't even finish the ladders!
They'll wait 3 days.
Then close the mine and put up the gravestones.
No.
No, no, no, no!
I won't believe that!
They'll dig us out!
And if they don't, our families will!
With their bare hands, IF NECESSARY!
I believe we'll make it out of here, Because I CHOOSE to believe it!
All 33 of us!
Now you Lucho, you believe whatever you want.
Its your problem.
Yeah.
Yeah, That Is.
Our rescue better get here pretty quick.
Yeah. Give me.
There is 18 cans of tuna.
165 grams per can.
33 men...
That's 90 grams a man.
That's half a can.
A little more for the rest of your lives.
Anybody else?
Thank you.
Hey, You.
Thank you.
- Mario. - Give it to me.
Early today...
The mining company's rescue tems made an attempt to enter the mine.
Through the ventilation chimneys.
But a secondary collapse blocked off any possible access to it.
The mining company has now relinquished control.
Are you watching this?
The Chilean government is taking over this operation.
Of course.
I need you up there, Sougarret. As soon as possible.
Golborne is going to need help need help.
And everyone I speak to says you're the best in the business.
Thank you Mr. President. I appreciate it.
And you appreciate that we can't afford...
To fall on our asses in front of the whole country.
Which one of you is Laurence Golborne?
Can I help you?
Sougarret. Andre Sougarret.
I'm your new chief engineer.
Says who?
The President.
Now assuming they are alive...
We've got 33 men down there.
They are running out of food and water.
But there is adequate air.
TWe know that they can survive...
For a peiod of time if you are relatively healthy...
But we don't know that.
Some of them could be injured...
Some of them are in the early or later stages of silicosis.
Miner's lung disease.
What I do know is that if we get them out fast...
We're gonna be bringing up 33 corpses.
Here is what we know:
The men were working in the lower half of the mine When it collapsed.
That puts them here at the refuge.
A 5 meter wide space...
200 storeys down.
My readings indicate...
That a massive rock has placed itself here.
We are talking About 700.000 tons of diorite.
Or twice the mass...
Of the Empire State Building.
Obviously...
We can't go in through the front door, so to speak.
So we're gonna have to drill.
Best case scenario...
We reach them in 8 days.
Eight days?
They are too far down, too deep.
Eight days?
But that's not the biggest problem.
It is the deviation factor.
Look. Here is the refuge.
If you run these drills 24 hours a day...
At full speed...
the drill is going to deviate like this...
or like this.
In fact, it can bend 20 different ways.
And even if everything goes according to plan...
The odds are still going to be against us.
So, what exactly are you saying?
What I'm saying, Minister...
Is that there is less than 1% chance of finding them.
I need every drill that you can grt your hands on.
And I want them here as soon as possible.
- Mario. - Yes.
This one has less.
Which one?
This.
- Is everybody happy? - Yes.
Alright ladies.
Next meal in 24 hours.
How're we supposed to survive on this?
If we get hungry, we can always eat the Bolivian.
I heard Bolivians taste like chicken.
The drills are here!
We did it!
Okay.
You twist it...
And you twist all those wires together.
The will be light.
You cannot live without light.
Tell me, Alex.
Why do you think having a boy is so much better than having a girl?
Yonni, what is it about a guy like you?
Face like a horse's ass...
curly hair, bad breath...
you fart in your sleep.
How come the ladies love you so much?
There's 33 guys down here and I'm the one...?
Who has a something going on in the side?
No! Not in the house across the street, man!
At least close the curtains.
She doesn't have curtains.
Elvis is in the building.
You hear that?
It is a drill.
They are looking for us.
Is that not the sweetest sound you've ever heard?
Problem is much more complicated than I thought.
I really want to be there for Ivy's birthday.
Tell the girls I miss them so much.
Stop! Stop!
Look! I gotta call you back.
What happened?
Sougarret! What happened?
You see this diorite? Twice as hard as granite.
This is the problem.
We're gonna need new drills.
Okay, I can get you more drills, But we're running out of time.
I know.
They are burning through them so quickly?
I don't have six months to explain to you...
The complex geology of the Atacama Desert...
That's not what I asked...
You want to be a miner?
Get a book, read the basics.
Start with orogenesis.
I've got 33 men down there I've gotta worry about.
Why don't you do what you need to do. Be a suit. Go talk to the media.
Let me do my job.
Why is it taking so much time?
I know you're all growing restless.
I know you want answers.
But I'm here to assure you...
That we are doing everything we possibly can...
To make contact with your loved ones.
We need to know if They are alive.
I don't have a definitive answer.
That's the truth.
We have 10 drills working 24 hours a day.
Look, I know how you must feel.
I'm going to expand accomodations for your families.
I'm setting up a commisary...
A medical facility...
And a temporary school for your children.
That is all for now.
Minister!
We know that the mine is very dangerous.
It can collapse in any moment! Minister!
Hey! Minister of Mining.
Don't look at me like that.
I'm not gonna slap you.
I'm not saying...
I'm never gonna slap you.
You kept your word.
What's your name?
Maria Segovia.
Dario's wife.
Sister.
He's my kid brother.
I'm not leaving without him.
They're everywhere! They're everywhere! Please get them off me!
Get them off me!
They're everywhere!
I need to drink! Oh my God!
Dario.
I'm dying! I'm dying!
We are all dying. We are going to die.
Its okay.
There is a lot worse things in life than death.
How come you have time for me?
Why don't you hate me like everybody else?
Why? Why?
Hate...
Is for children.
If we...
Treat with good to each other...
We might find...
The way out of here.
We can pray together, if you like.
I don't know the words.
God does not care.
Merciful Father...
Take...
This boy.
Open his Eyes...
So he can see.
I'm sorry.
Its okay.
I'm sorry.
Maria, where to?
This way please.
Okay we're going to school, single file, please!
Right in behind me, please.
That one.
- Thank you, Susie. - Okay, nice to see you.
Excuse me?
What your name?
What's she been saying?
- What are you, Martha? - Her name is Susana Valenzuela.
- Do not do it. - She's my husband's mistress.
Sorry Susana, but only family members Are permitted inside the fence,so...
No hookers allowed, sorry.
But if I'm family.
I love him and he loves me.
He loves you?
- Take your stuff. - You can throw me out...
But I will be back...
And when to Yonni comes up, and he will come up...!
We'll see who he loves best!
What is this?
Food and water is low and....
You have to make it last.
One tablespoon of tuna every other day...
and a shot of water once a day.
That's it.
I ran it through a filter I made.
It sucks, but it's just about drinkable.
Alex.
Do yourself a favor.
If we get out of here...
Find yourself a new line of work.
Shut up, Gomez.
Shut up! Shut up!
We are getting close.
We're adding the last pipe section.
We are getting extremely close, sir.
We're down to the last 6 meters.
Five meters!
Four!
You need to mark it!
Yonni! Get some paint!
When the drill comes through...!
We all have to make a lot of noise!
- Write a note! - I've got it!
What?
What happened? Mario?
It's below us.
The thing is below us.
At least they are looking in the right place.
You still don't get it, do you?
It took them all this long...!
To get that close!
They're not going to look for us forever, Mario.
We are starving, Mario!
When they get back...!
We will be dead!
Alex.
I've been a miner all my life.
I let you down!
I let myself down.
I knew this place was dangerous!
We all knew about this place!
Nobody is blaming you!
You wanna blame somebody?
Blame Castillo! Blames the owners!
Where is Alex?
Nothing.
It is the deviation, Laurence.
We can't figure it out.
We missed by 10 meters.
That's one hundred years of piss and shit...
Down there.
Alex!
If you want to do, do not do it alone.
You are crazy? - Let's do it together.
Yes I am crazy! I'm crazy!
I'm completely out of my mind.
But you know what?
I have a daughter.
And a wife.
You have a wife and...
With a baby on the way...
And they are counting on you, Alex.
My baby.
We need you, man.
I need you.
And we've already burn through 9 drills.
This is becoming an impossible situation.
Sometimes impossible situations can take a little longer.
Laurence,our guys are already in acute starvation.
If they are even alive.
I think we got to start asking Ourselves the really tough questions.
How long do you think we can keep this up, hmm?
What's going on here?
They know the rules. No families allowed.
It is Don Francisco.
Gosh! Godamnit, Mamani!
You scared the shit out of me! What are you doing here?
The same as you.
What is the knife?
Are you gonna cut me up and eat me?
They say Chileans taste like chicken.
You May Have noticed...
I don't have a lot of friends down here.
Where is your head lamp?
I never got one.
Here.
Listen, Mamani...
Nobody is eating anybody while I'm here.
You understand?
I am so scared.
I don't want her growing up without a father.
Tell me everything is going to be okay.
- Just say it. - I can not.
Just tell me that its going to be okay.
Jessi, stop it.
You know it as well as I do...
That its not gonna be okay.
I have been wanting to say something.
I'm sorry.
I'm very sorry that I have stolen from you guys.
I just hope that one day you can forgive me.
I 'I ve been saving this for you.
I just wish I had a box of them to give you.
Thank you, Dario.
Thank you from others.
What I wouldn't do for...
One of your sisters right now.
Bless this food. Amen.
Oh my God.
Baby.
Katty.
Its gonna be okay.
Mom, what are you doing here?
Look how skinny you are.
Yonni, eat.
Charquicán.
Your favorite.
Excuse me.
Fresh milk.
Anyone?
I just...
I just want you to know...
that I...
Couldn't be prouder than I am...
To share with you...
This last meal.
With all of you.
If that is the case...
If this is our last supper...
I am officially handing my retirement papers.
I quit!
You called it off.
It wasn't my decision.
And this?
A memorial?
A poem for the gravestones, a few words by Pablo Neruda.
That has nothing to do with me.
This is bullshit. Look.
Those people out there are counting on us.
You and me.
33 men underground.
300 mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters...
And we are their only hope.
Snap outof it, Laurence. It's a false hope.
- And you're giving up! - 3 days food?
That's all they Had.
They are down there for 16 days.
You're giving these families false hope.
- Look, they can survive 40 days without food. - Not at those conditions, Laurence.
Its 100 degrees down there. Do you know what that is like?
It's a tomb!
I understand how you feel. I feel the same.
I know your heart is in the right place.
And where is yours?
It's not about you!
It's over!
It's over, Laurence.
I have something for you.
Hi.
Its the best in #@$#%.
I mean well.
I do.
I say everything I think.
That's my trouble.
I want to please.
Somehow, I...
I always find a way to miss.
Not by miles.
I can't seem to learn from my mistakes.
You have to sleep.
Thank you.
We heard the news, Minister. I'm sorry.
Don't be. No one is dead yet.
Restart the drill.
You got it. You have the azimuth?
Who?
The azimuth. The angle minister.
Hey, Laurence.
You need some help?
What's on your mind?
Ground.
Refuge.
Drill.
Look at the direction.
Look how I drew it.
Yes, but I don't your point.
So, we learn from our mistakes.
Let the toughness of the rock be the guide.
Your drill is facing in the wrong direction.
Exactly.
This doesn't make any sense.
Only if you aim to...
Miss.
You are crazy?
You'll bring the mountain down on top of these men.
Stop trying to think like you're some kind of...
We use the deviational measurement from the last miss.
And we already know where the rock is at its most dense.
It's so simple.
Learn from your mistakes.
Aim to miss.
Now you're thinking like a miner.
If I have a girl...
I'm going to call her Esperanza (meaning Hope).
A Jessi would like that.
Come on, pastor.
Drink.
Stay with me, pastor.
Our Father, who art in heaven...
Hallowed be thy name.
Let your kingdom come.
Forgive me, Lord.
Give us this day our daily bread...
And forgive us our trespasses...
As we forgive...
Those who trespass against us.
Lead us not, into temptation...
And deliver us from evil.
Amen.
Drill.
Drill!
Come here!
Drill!
It's here!
Look, look! Look!
Look! Hey, guys!
We are here!
Shh! I hear something.
Someone is alive.
Shut down the generators!
It could be rocks falling.
Stethoscope.
Here.
The note! I got the note!
Its been painted.
- Are you sure it wasn't before? - Defenitely not, sir.
There's something there.
Where?
Oh my God!
This message comes to us from the depths...
Of the earth.
Fro the very hands of our miners.
"We are well on the refuge.
The 33 ".
Susi!
Marta!
He's alive!
They are safe!
They're all safe!
I knew you could do it.
We found them. Now we got to get them out.
Nobody's done anything like this before.
God bless our miners!
God bless them!
It is Luis Urzua, the supervisor.
Can you hear me?
Yes.
I can hear you.
I'm Laurence Golborne, the minister of mining.
How are you?
17 days is a long time.
And after 17 days, you wouldn't have blame rescuers for losing hope...
Until they got the sign that is, that 33 miners, all of them...
2000 feet down...
Were OK.
The families today get a chance to do what they do once a week.
They get to meet via video conference with Their loved ones down below...
For about 8 minutes.
Three platforms are now in place specialized in deep drilling.
The Australian drill, Plan A...
Is going directly into the miner's emergency shelter...
Which is 2300 feet below the surface.
Plan C is a Canadian oil drill.
It is equipped to make holes the width of a man.
Down here is Plan B.
Now, this is a T-130 drill.
That is going to be manned by th US engineer...
Jeff Hart.
It is a blunt instrument.
Its like a huge jackhammer.
But it could get through the ground very quickly.
One guy has a drug problem drugs...
Another suffers from depression, another guy is bipolar.
These men are going to start killing each other...
If they're down there much longer.
And this is going to go on for 3 months...
At least.
Three months?
- Are you recording? - Yes.
My name is Mario Sepulveda.
Welcome to...
The San Jose mine resort Hilton.
We'll take a look at here.
Guys, more palomas(meaning pigeons) coming in!
Nikes!
And iPods for everyone!
Hey, Gomez! Here are your dirty magazines.
- Mario? - Hi Dad.
- Can you hear us? - We hear you, Dad?
Yes Yes.
How are you? Other than skinny.
Katty.
You're so skinny.
Escarlette.
Its okay, Dad.
Today was hard for rescuers of the San Jose mine day.
After advancing far the Australian drill, Plan A...
I Suffered a serious setback When drilling a hydraulic pipe...
Which I have disabled the drill completely.
Here it is.
I couldn't see if it was boy or a girl.
Let it be a surprise, Alex.
I don't want to know.
As long as you two are good.
That's all that matters.
Dad...
Alex.
I've missed you.
Another one of us.
No no no.
People don't need to see that.
And the fact that I was in the military for a while...
Allow me know how to organize people.
You're famous, Mario.
Don Francisco was here.
He said last night that...
You were the most famous man in Chile.
Don Francisco said that?
We will get you out.
An to see your families...
By Christmas.
We will be waiting for you. Goodbye and God bless you.
- Alright! He's gone. - Christmas?
- Listen. - That is three months!
No, listen! Listen to me!
Dissapointing news from Chile. The Canadian drill, Plan C...
Has been shut down indefinitely Due to unexpected technical difficulties.
The drill and the team, Which the families had high hopes for...
Are now now heading home.
Have your husband sign them.
And please...
If you have any questions, call me.
I'm gonna read them and talk to Mario.
We're taling about a...
A lot of money.
Katty...
Keep it to yourself.
Wolf! - Look, and Wolf!
How are you?
So I'm gonna give you enough money so Your husbands don't have to work for a year.
I will give you each $10,000.
Dario.
The huge slab of rock, the so-called "Mega stone"...
Twice the size of the Empire State Building...
Is believed to have shifted in the last few hours.
This added yet more urgency....
To the rescue effort here on the surface.
We hit steel.
Most likely a horizontal support beam or something.
We busted the dig.
Bitch is stuck down in that borehole, like a dummy.
So, we replace the bit.
No, the piece of bit is 1420 feet down there.
We're not drilling until we get that piece outta there.
However that is.
I'm calling my contacts in Brazil And get us some big old magnets.
Mario, there's no drills. They are not drilling.
Are you listening to me?
Okay, that's good.
Hey Yonni, listen to this.
"Martha...
The wife of miner Yonni Barrios...
Had Yonni's mistress removed from the camp 'Hope'...
For the third time.
A Susi, Yonni's mistress...
Is happy being a home wrecker."
Now the whole world thinks that Susi is a whore...
And that I am a two-timing scumbag.
Well...
That is not right.
I don't believe this.
"Our fearless leader, Super Mario...
Who will tell anyone who is willing to listen...
That he is the one solely responsible for our survival...
Has been offered a book deal for...
For an undisclosed sum."
Undisclosed sum?
What is that sum, Mario?
Were you planning on...?
Have they any of us in this book deal?
- Did you do it? - Of course he did it.
You know what, Fearless Leader?
We are going to get along just fine without you.
Do you really think I need you?
Any of you?
Leader...
Makes sure you don't starve.
A leader keeps the lights on.
No, you have them helped with lights on.
If I.
What are you doing?
- We don't need you! - You did this Mario!
We had enough.
Get out! Get out of here!
The leader never gives up.
You know?
You wouldn't be here if it wasn't for me.
I never asked for this.
You gave it to me.
You listen to me, Golborne.
None of your drills are working.
That is unacceptable!
We spent millions of dollars bringing them down here.
We made no secret of that.
Now you tell me the American drill is down?
The drill bit fractured in the borehole...
But we've got magnets coming in from Brazil.
Heavy duty magnets.
I don't want to hear about your magnets!
The mine is crumbling!
We are running out of time, Golborne.
There is talk of lawsuits and...
Criminal charges from the families.
I don't have to tell you...
The miners occupy...
A previlaged positions in the affections of Chilean people.
The last thing we need is these men to dying...
With the whole world watching!
I do not think its going too far to say...
That the future of this administration depends on the outcome.
Mr. President, I can...
Dario.
You wanna say something to me?
You know Mary, my sister, right?
Yeah.
I have been mad at her all my life.
She abandoned me when I was just a kid.
I mean, she was a kid also...
And had already raised my other 5 siblings.
She just needed her own life.
I couldn't see that before.
I know she's up there, I know she's waiting for me, but...
What am I supposed to say?
What am I supposed to do when we get out?
If...if we get out.
You hug her ...
And you cry like a baby.
Forgive her for everything that she has ever done.
And you pray to God that she forgives you.
She is your family.
Mary is the only family you've got.
Family...
Family is all we have.
That's my iPod.
You are a thieving Bolivian Indian.
- We all got iPods. - It Is my iPod.
- Not yours. - Give me my iPod!
- Not yours, Elvis! - Give me my iPod!
Not yours, Elvis!
Mamani!
Stop!
Kid, look at me!
Look at me!
That's the devil guiding your hand.
Give me that.
You were gonna kill a man...
Over this piece of shit?
For what?
Beacause some fat God says he's gonna give us some money?
Because some whore writes some gossip...?
About your family life?
Come over here. Come over here.
So what?
So, some people want to be your boss Because you are a Bolivian?
so, what's that, what's that?
Come on.
What about me?
Calling myself the leader down here.
Throwing my weight around thinking...
I did everything on my own.
No.
No, this is not me.
This is not us.
So, we all know what is up there.
It's a circus.
So let's not get too far ahead of ourselves.
No, let's not do that...
Because we are not gonna get anything out of this.
Anything.
We walked in miners and we will walk out as...
Miners.
I didn't sign the book deal.
Was I going to?
Yes.
Did I want to provide for my family and my kids?
Yeah. But I didn't.
I didn't. Why?
Because of you.
Because you are my brothers.
And if we are going to stay brothers, We got to pull together...
And to get out of here.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
I am very sorry.
Welcome back, Mario.
Welcome back.
Here it comes!
I Knew It!
Back to work!
Vicente! Hey!
Come on, get up.
Let's get ourselves some miners.
We got it him out. We're gonna restart.
Lieutenant.
Take down the fence.
All of it.
Yes sir.
Come in. Everyone.
You're coming too close to some iron support beams.
If the she hits those beams, that drill is a goner.
We're going to have to clear ourselves from down here.
And how?
A controlled explosion.
No, no, no, no Don Lucho. That's...that's a negative.
The mountain is completely unstable. You need another option.
We know.
We Know it is unstable.
But it is the only way.
We are all ready to get out of here...
Or die trying.
Alex!
Mario!
We are going to move through the beam with these timbers here.
The charges will be placed here, correlated to this.
Jessi.
I'll take you to the hospital.
No, I'm staying right here, Don Jose.
I'm not leaving Alex.
Susi.
From Yonni.
He wrote to me.
Oh my God.
He spoke to the minister. You belong at camp 'Hope' with us.
- I get to come in? - Yes.
Martha, why are you leaving leave us?
I decided to leave him.
He doesn't deserve a woman like me.
Besides, he farts in his sleep.
Excuse me.
Are you ladies ready?
Hell of a first day, huh, Bolivia?
I'm sure you put in for some overtime. Come on.
Three...!
Two...
One!
Look!
There she comes!
Alright, we're in!
You did it! Thank you, Jeff!
You're Chile's new national hero.
Tanked out in the colors of the national flag...
This is Phoenix 1...
The rescue capsule on which the Chilean authorities...
Along with the rest of the world...
Are now pinning their hopes on.
The metal cage is designed to pull the 33 miners one by one...
From 700 meters below ground...
To the sunlight they haven't seen now for 62 days.
Open it up.
It is sinking.
How fast?
Too fast.
You see this green line?
We marked this Rock yesterday.
Do you see how far it is come down?
I guess the explosion has done its job.
700,000 tons of rock...
Sitting just directly over their heads.
Its not a question of if it falls, but when.
Okay guys, here is the situation:
We just don't have time to reinforce the shaft.
If anything happens to the Phoenix capsule...
If its mechanism fails, Or the walls of the shaft collapse...
I have to tell you...
That there is a real possibility That we can't getyou guys out.
The guy who goes first...
Will be in the greatest danger.
But could also be the only one to make it out.
You decide who that man will be.
Phoenix.
Sir?
We're ready for initiation.
- Yes! - Go, Alex!
See you all men...
Up there.
Hey there.
We are ready.
Sir, they're good to go.
Alright.
On the count of three, begin the ascent.
Beginning the ascent...
In 3, 2...
Come on!
700 meters.
Mr. Vega is looking good.
The capsule is holding steady. 500 meters.
500 meters mark.
Look, his heartrate is all over the place.
He is nervous. Who wouldn't be?
The mountain is stable.
Everything looks good.
The rate of ascent is within the normal parameters.
400 meters.
300 meters.
Ignacio, what happened?
The capsule is trapped in the borehole and we lost biometrics.
There is a problem.
- Wait. - It stopped.
We don't have a visual down here.
I'm gonna try reverse it.
Don Lucho.
The capsule is stuck.
They are reversing the Phoenix.
What happened?
Here we go.
Okay! Beginning descent.
Is he breathing?
We have no way of knowing what his oxygen supply is.
Oh my God.
- Light up down there. - Anything?
I'm gonna try again.
The wheel has stopped.
Okay, It is moving.
The capsule is moving.
What happened?
We lost the signal. We lost Alex.
They've lost contact.
He made it?
He made it! Yes!
Dad!
This is your baby girl.
Esperanza (meaning Hope).
Oh my God.
Mario.
Good luck, Mario.
See you soon.
Goodbye, #$%!
I love you!
Yeah baby!
