How will you react when you come face to face with eternity?

Hundreds of feet below the earth, with a dwindling supply of fresh air, three men face death together, and a long-suppressed bitterness explodes, pitting father against son. One man spent more time building up his reputation at church and work than he did tending to his own family. His son must grapple with anger and a history of his own failures. The third man claims to have the answer to life and death--but how can they be sure he's right? As the precious moments diminish, with little hope of rescue, each man faces his own death differently.

Superb acting set deep inside a coal mine in Southern Indiana provides a sobering challenge for each of us to ponder how we will face death. Even more importantly, this black and white classic will challenge you to re-examine your priorities in life!

When Dark Valley was first released in 1961, it was a powerful story of real human beings confronting hard questions about life and death. In the course of their ordeal, the three miners must come to grips with past failures, hypocrisy, and the question of faith. Today, in a world plagued by tragedies and broken families, the story is more relevant than ever.
