Deepwater Horizon

“When faced with our darkest hour, hope is not a tactic.”

Mike Williams (Mark Wahlberg) leaves his family for another stretch on the Deepwater Horizon, a drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico, in April 2010. The crew is behind schedule, and Donald Vidrine (John Malkovich) is pressing to move ahead while the well is still being tested. Peter Berg keeps Mike's eyes on the gauges and his mind on getting home.
