I'll be disappointed if Elon Musk's vile comment about the rescue attempt isn't in the movie.

I hope the Rescued and Rescuers both, are allowed to review the Film for it's accuracy.
The feat that was carried out, was actually astounding, and showed a lot of courage and expertise from the Rescuers. Serious Cave Diving is, not for many, and is fraught with loads of Dangers beyond mental strength.
The Whole effort was tarred somewhat by the harmful "Pedo" comments made at the time, by a certain individual...

How that individual won his case, remains a mystery to me - the Law even suggested he was right ?

I really feel sorry for the Caver "Vernon Unsworth", he really should be cleared of any association with being a "Pedo", though it seems Money, in this case, buys you immunity. The fact is, that "Vernon Unsworth", helped saved the lives of 12 young boys at the time, something he should remain credited with as being a true "Hero" - even his ex-Wife says so.
I can also imagine, the reason why "Unsworth" got the scorn of that Individual, since introducing new and untried technology into a rescue situation adds additional uncertainty into an already dire situation, something which the said Individual, probably hasn't experienced before, I wonder even, if he has any qualification with first aid, at all ? Sadly, all Lawyers are unequal, you get what you can afford.
I hope, that this film, adds to its Credits, that "Unsworth" was and is a normal person, and "NOT A PEDO" ... such as that Individual suggested.

Oh I know how it’s gonna end, just like all Ron Howard films, with an obnoxious crescendo.
