SK环球是一家电影制作公司，曾经制作过《摘金奇缘 Crazy Rich Asians》这部电影。 该公司和Netflix公司从13 THam Luang有限公司获得了洞穴救援故事的版权。泰国政府帮助建立了13 Tham Luang 有限公司，该公司是被救男孩及其教练的利益代表。

The boys of the Wild Boars soccer team and their coach had planned to explore the Tham Luang cave area after a practice event on June 23, 2018. But rainwater flooded the passageways, trapping them inside. It was not known at the time if they were able to find shelter from rising flood waters that poured in after unexpected rainfall.
2018年6月23日的一次训练赛之后，野猪队的男孩们及其教练计划到Tham Luang洞穴区域探险。但是雨水淹没了通道，将他们困在了洞里。当时人们并不知道在这场意外的降雨之后，他们是否能够找到避难场所，躲开不断涌入的洪水。
On July 2, two British divers3 found the boys and their coach. An international team of experienced cave divers rescued the group. The divers joined with Thai navy divers in a complex and dangerous operation that ended successfully on July 10.

The rescue was a rare example of a feel-good news story from Thailand. The nation has experienced political conflict and military rule for more than 10 years. The cave rescue also enabled the government of Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha to share some of the credit.
这次救援是泰国少有的使人愉悦的新闻故事。这个国家经历了十多年的政治冲突和军事统治。洞穴救援也使得巴育总理的政府能够分得一些信任。

在这支球队被救出之后，一部名为《洞穴 The Cave》的独立电影很快被制作了出来，内容就是关于这次救援行动。这部电影应该会在今年晚些时候上映。
