Thirteen Lives
When a sudden flood traps a youth soccer team deep inside a treacherous Thai cave, an elite group of international divers races against rising waters and collapsing tunnels to bring the boys home alive.
“5000 people, 17 countries, 1 miracle that united the world.”
Synopsis
Based on the true, nail-biting mission that captivated the world, twelve boys and their coach from a Thai soccer team ventured into the Tham Luang cave. An unexpected rainstorm caused flooding, trapping them in a chamber deep inside the mountain. Cut off by a maze of flooded cave tunnels, they faced impossible odds. A team of world-class divers navigated through miles of dangerous cave networks and discovered that finding the boys was only the beginning.

Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
