ABOUT THE FILMS:

THIRTEEN LIVES, 2022, Amazon Studios, 147 min, USA, Dir: Ron Howard. 

THIRTEEN LIVES recounts the incredible true story of the tremendous global effort to rescue a Thai soccer team who become trapped in the Tham Luang cave network during an unexpected rainstorm. Faced with insurmountable odds, a team of the world’s most skilled and experienced divers —uniquely able to navigate the maze of flooded, narrow cave tunnels —join with Thai forces and more than 10,000 volunteers to attempt a harrowing rescue of the twelve boys and their coach. With impossibly high stakes and the entire world watching, the group embarks on their most challenging dive yet, showcasing the limitlessness of the human spirit in the process. Academy Award winning director Ron Howard tells this unbelievable true story in a visceral style. With riveting cinematography by Sayombhu Mukdeeprom  and a screenplay by Academy Award nominee William Nicholson, the film depicts how rescuers, engineers, and divers tried everything in the face of outrageous odds —coming down to a moment when a group of ordinary people tried one final, extraordinary attempt to save THIRTEEN LIVES.

APOLLO 13, 1995, Universal, 140 min, USA, Dir: Ron Howard. 

“Houston, we have a problem.” An oxygen tank explosion turns what was expected to be a routine lunar mission in 1970 into a race for survival in this acclaimed real-life drama.

With meticulous attention to detail, APOLLO 13 earned nine Oscar nominations, with wins for Best Film Editing and Best Sound. Gary Sinise, Ed Harris and Kathleen Quinlan costar.
