Amazon is heading to Thailand for its latest original film, Thirteen Lives, which retells the true story of the 2018 Thai cave rescue.

Thirteen Lives recounts the tremendous global effort to rescue a Thai soccer team who became trapped in the Tham Luang cave 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 – joined with Thai forces and more than 10,000 volunteers to attempt a harrowing rescue of the twelve boys and their coach.

Directed by Howard and written by William Nicholson, the film stars Viggo Mortensen, Colin Farrell, Joel Edgerton, Tom Bateman, Paul Gleeson, Pattrakorn Tungsupakul, Tui Thiraphat Sajakul, James Teeradon Supapunpinyo, Sahajak Boonthanakit and Weir Sukollawat Kanaros.

The film will be released in select cinemas on 29th July, before arriving on Amazon Prime on 5th August. Here’s the trailer:
