Set just hours before the disaster began, oil rig worker Mike Williams (Wahlberg) and his crew are drilling a well at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. But the work is cut short when a worst-case explosion shakes the rig and sets it on fire, and Mike must try to save his fellow employees. Deepwater Horizon is based on a New York Times account of the explosion. While much of the coverage of the blowout was about the environmental damage, this film tells the story of the heroism of the crew.
