Directed by Peter Berg in 2016, the thriller
stars Mark Wahlberg, Kurt Russell and Douglas M Griffin.
A real-life drama with a powerful ensemble
cast. It is based on the Deep Water Horizon explosion, which resulted in
millions of litres of oil being spilt into the sea in the Gulf of Mexico – with
a disastrous effect on marine life.
The senior executive of a major oil company
issues instructions to reduce safety inspections in order to speed up the
drilling process on a massive rig in the Gulf of Mexico – in spite of warnings
that this will endanger the lives of everyone on the rig. The result? The
biggest oil spill in US history. Rating:13VL
