Chicago, see Chilean coal miner drama, The 33, early and for free

Most of the world is already aware of the harrowing 2010 Chilean mine collapse, which trapped 33 miners 200 stories deep for nearly 10 weeks, but this month’s The 33 wants to shed new light on the tragedy by taking the audience underground. Patricia Riggen’s drama splits time above and below, depicting the socio-political struggles on land, as well as the inspiring tale of survival deep beneath. Among the miners fighting to stay alive is Antonio Banderas in his most high profile lead role in quite some time. Banderas is joined by an impressive cast, including Rodrigo Santoro, Juliette Binoche, Lou Diamond Phillips, and James Brolin. The 33 opens in Chicago theaters on November 13, but The A.V. Club and Alcon Entertainment have an opportunity for you to see it for free on November 10.
