Deepwater Horizon is based on the true story of the events leading up to the oil spill from the titular drilling rig. It follows Mike Williams, as he travels back to the drilling rig on what is supposed to be another day of work. From the beginning, we start to see the cracks which lead to the disaster that happened. It begins with bypassing a safety check, then further tests caused the pipe to burst which quickly escalated the incident. The film is done extremely well. You don't understand the significance of how big and dangerous it gets until the whole drilling rig goes up in flames and you realize that this actually occurred. It gets even more terrible when you realize that people's lives were lost. The film delivers a strong gripping story and message.
