Peter Berg's gripping big-budget dramatization of the events surrounding the explosion of BP/Transocean oil rig Deepwater Horizon on April 20, 2010, chronicles the human cost of a tragedy that killed 11 workers and caused the largest oil spill in U.S. history. The courage and heroism of the men and women working on the rig at the time of the disaster is thrown into sharp relief by the fact that not a single employee of either Transocean or BP was ever prosecuted. The cast includes Mark Wahlberg, Kurt Russell, John Malkovich, Gina Rodriguez and Kate Hudson. Nominated for two Oscars®.
