It's been five years since the world's attention was captivated by the story of 33 Chilean miners who were trapped 2,300 feet underground and miraculously survived.

The San Jose mine collapsed on Aug 5, 2010. The miners then spent 69 days beneath the earth before being rescued.

The miners' stories will soon hit the big screen. CBN News has an exclusive preview of the film.

"The 33" hits theaters Nov 13 and stars Antonio Banderas, Lou Diamond Phillips, and Naomi Scott.

CBN News has featured the stories of how the miners' amazing faith gave them the strength to survive.

CNN is also marking the fifth anniversary of the event, celebrating the miners faith and survival with a special program, Aug. 4 at 9 p.m. ET.
