Here are six new stills from the upcoming movie ‘The 33,’ based on the story of the 33 Chilean miners. New trailer arrives on Wednesday.

“We all know the beginning and we know the end of this story,” Antonio Banderas told USA Today. “What I discovered was another story, one not told. It’s the story we tried to do here. We tried to put a magnifying glass on human behavior that comes out in situations like this, when death is right in front of you.”

Antonio Banderas dropped weight during filming to mirror Sepúlveda’s weight loss during the 17 days trapped in the mines. “When I saw in the mirror that my tummy was very reduced and the bags really growing under my eyes, I thought that I could pull this off,” says Banderas.

The story of the 33 miners was condensed in the movie into 10 major characters onscreen.

“We had to compress all that happened to them in an hour and a half,” director Patricia Riggen told USA Today. “They think it was very fair to what they lived.”

“This movie is about that humanity,” says Riggen. “It shows what human beings can accomplish when we all work together. That’s always very attractive to me as a filmmaker and that’s why this touched everyone. This is an example to the world of how people should react in these circumstances.”

In 2010, the eyes of the world turned to Chile, where 33 miners had been buried alive by the catastrophic explosion and collapse of a 100-year-old gold and copper mine. Over the next 69 days, an international team worked night and day in a desperate attempt to rescue the trapped men as their families and friends, as well as millions of people globally, waited and watched anxiously for any sign of hope. But 200 stories beneath the surface, in the suffocating heat and with tensions rising, provisions—and time—were quickly running out.

A story of resilience, personal transformation and triumph of the human spirit, the film takes us to the Earth’s darkest depths, revealing the psyches of the men trapped in the mine, and depicting the courage of both the miners and their families who refused to give up.

Based on the gripping true story of survival—and filmed with the cooperation of the miners, their families and their rescuers—“The 33” reveals the never-before-seen actual events that unfolded, above and below ground, which became nothing less than a worldwide phenomenon.

‘The 33′ opens in U.S. theaters on November 13, 2015.
