The Pennsylvania Miners' Story gives a realistic and heartfeltdepiction of the true story of nine men trapped in coal mine. Afterbreaking into a water-filled abandoned mine, the nine miners struggle tostay alive while rescue crews fight against time to drill down. There areno surprises to the story, but the harrowing circumstances of both thetrapped men and their wives and children up above is made acutely,powerfully clear. What could be mawkish--for example, one shivering minerrealizes he didn't kiss his wife goodbye that morning--is givencompelling emotional weight by the movie's straightforward realismand solid performances by a largely unknown cast (the most famous face isprobably John Ratzenberger, from the TV show Cheers). Only thehardest heart could remain unmoved. --Bret Fetzer

This movie was such a good movie, but I would advise if you do not like the coal mines since there have been so many accidents then I don't think that you should watch it. I cried my eyes out. But other than that its such a good movie.
