Product Description

Experience the unbelievable but true account of hope, friendship, and courage that captivated an entire nation in THE PENNSYLVANIA MINERS' STORY. Relive every gut-wrenching, heart-rending minute of the ordeal when a close-knit group of nine coal miners accidentally punch into an old mine shaft that's holding back millions of gallons of trapped groundwater. Now tragically trapped themselves in claustrophobic four-foot-high shafts, time becomes the real enemy. As their families gather above ground, the miners must battle rising water, hypothermia, "black damp," and the odds below -- armed only with the will to survive.

Amazon.com

The Pennsylvania Miners' Story gives a realistic and heartfelt depiction of the true story of nine men trapped in coal mine. After breaking into a water-filled abandoned mine, the nine miners struggle to stay alive while rescue crews fight against time to drill down. There are no surprises to the story, but the harrowing circumstances of both the trapped men and their wives and children up above is made acutely, powerfully clear. What could be mawkish--for example, one shivering miner realizes he didn't kiss his wife goodbye that morning--is given compelling emotional weight by the movie's straightforward realism and solid performances by a largely unknown cast (the most famous face is probably John Ratzenberger, from the TV show Cheers). Only the hardest heart could remain unmoved. --Bret Fetzer

It gets me every time.

The Pennsylvania Miners' Story is one of my husband's favorite movies. He's the one who wanted to purchase the movie and I luckily found it on Amazon. This is a wonderful movie, but it really tugs at my heart strings. No matter how many time I watch it, I end up in tears. My husband has been an underground coal miner for 10 years, so this really hits home for us. This movie does a great job of allowing you to get to know the characters in such a short time frame- you feel like they are family. Even though I knew the outcome of the situation, since it is based on a real life event, I was sitting on the edge of my seat the entire time (every time) practically biting my nails. I would recommend this movie to anyone and everything. Just be advised, if there's a coal miner in your life.. this movie will open your eyes to a whole new set of "what ifs" that will run through your mind each and every time your miner goes off to work.

This is an amazingly great story

This is a great story. It is amazingly accurate, and filmed only a few miles from where the accident actually happened. It is was a modern day miracle with everyone stepping up to the plate to make this miracle happen. These nine miners received another chance at live after going through over 3 days of near death.

Great story of a group of strong men

I remember seeing and following this story on the news when it happened. Watching it years later I cried throughout most of it. Great movie. Straightforward and I appreciate the fact they didn't cast a bunch of well known movie stars which I feel would have lessened the reality and severity of the situation the men and their families endured.

Extremely captivating!

The first time I saw this I couldn't watch some parts. Gave me claustrophobia. But the second time, I got through it and then watched it over again! If anyone wants to see something truly exciting and realistic,they ought to watch it. You may stress out for awhile but the end is so awesome you will feel like crying.
