Description "In 1925, while chasing a dream of fame and fortune by turning a Kentucky cave into a tourist attraction, Floyd Collins himself becomes the main event when he is trapped 200 feet underground. Floyd fights for his sanity and ultimately his life as the rescue effort above explodes into the first genuine media circus. Reporters and gawkers descend on the property, fueling hysteria while the nation holds its collective breath."
