Product Description:

One of the most dramatic events of the summer of 2002 was the story of the nine Pennsylvania coal miners who were trapped inside a mine for more than three days. Miraculously, all nine miners survived, providing an uplifting and happy ending to a story most thought would end in tragedy. This made-for-TV movie tells the miners' story from their point of view using actual locations and footage from the real life Quecreek mine.

Description by Buena Vista Home Entertainment.:

The Pennsylvania Miners' Story
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.
