This is almost miraculous given they didn't even know where they were in the caves at the start. Huge celebrations ahead for their families and rescuers though not forgetting the one rescuer who died.

...and casting begins for the Hollywood blockbuster Cave Boys!
Tom Cruise to be the coach, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Will Poulter to play done of the boys. Even Warwick Davis wants to be one. Any more suggestions?

Joking apart, it does seem pretty likely to be Hollywoodised.
