...this tale of hope, fear, service, and triumph is some of Ron Howard’s most engrossing work in quite some time.

Details from the rescue I wasn’t aware of and certainly well depicted of what diving in narrow caves and the stress it could place you in. All with the love for the boys in mind. Amazing this actually happened.
