Movie already in works about rescue of soccer team from Thailand cave.

The rescue of 12 young footballers and their coach trapped in Tham Luang cave in Chiang Rai, Thailand.

A rescue mission began Sunday for 12 boys and their soccer coach who have been trapped inside a cave system in northern Thailand since June 23, 2018.


The boys, ages 11 to 16, were out exploring the Tham Luang Nang Non cave when heavy seasonal rains flooded the entrance and forced them to go deeper inside to find high ground.


The search for the team gained international attention. On Monday, July 2, 2018, divers made contact with the group and confirmed that everyone was alive.
