Spanish star Antonio Banderas is making a film on the 2010 incident in Chile where 33 miners were trapped underground for 69 days.
The 53-year-old actor plays the lead role in the disaster film about the miners' plight titled 'The 33' and met with the real life heroes, who survived when the shaft they were working in collapsed, leaving them trapped, reported Contactmusic.
"Millions of people, including myself, were glued to the TV following this story as these men held to the rocks inside that mine for nearly 70 days with the only dream of getting to see sunlight again; realising the true importance of water, of food, the look of their children, the eyes of their wives - the value of life," Banderas said.
In the movie Antonio plays Mario Sepulveda, who became the public face of the miners, while Juliet Binoche plays Maria Segovia, the sister of a trapped miner.
