 In April 2010| there is no oil exploration operation in the Gulf of Mexico to compare with the Deepwater Horizon oil rig with its size or sheer depth of its
drilling. However| the project for the BP oil company is beset with technical difficulties to the point where the general operational supervisor| Jimmy Harrell| and
his Chief Electrical Engineer| Mike Williams| are concerned potentially dangerous trouble is brewing. Unfortunately| visiting BP executives| frustrated by the
project's long delays| order curtailed site inspections and slanted system tests to make up for lost time even as Harrell| Williams and his team helplessly protest
for the sake of proper safety. On April 20| the workers' fears are realized in the worst possible way when the rig's various structural and system flaws spark a
catastrophic cascade of failures that would create a massive blowout and explosion that threatens them all| even as it also begins the worst environmental disaster
in US history.
Deepwater Horizon makes effective use of its titular man-made disaster to deliver an uncommonly serious -- yet still suitably gripping -- action thriller.
