What happened? • On April 20, 2010, Deepwater Horizon, which were operated by Transocean is set to begin drilling in Macondo Prospect on behalf of the BP Exploration. • They made them drill even though they weren’t 100% ready, and didn’t think it was safe. • The explosion was a failure in the cement at the base of the 18,000 feet-deep well that was supposed to keep oil and gas within the well bore. • That led to a lot of human and mechanical errors, which allowed gas to continue up the pipe with an insane amount of pressure causing an explosion and fire that killed 11 people of the 126 crew members Main caracters. • Mike Williams (Mark Wahlberg) on the picture. • An electronics technician. • Lead caracters • Jimmy Harrel (Kurt Russel) • Donald Vidrine (John Malkovich) • An BP worker who didn’t know what he was talking about, he underestimated the dangers of working on a rig • Andrea Fleytas (Gina Rodriguez) • Frequently tried to call the coast guard. • Were on the bridge. • Caleb Holloway (Dylan O`Bryan) My opinion • I think its an really good movie. • I feel like its important to understand what can go wrong, and take security seriously. • I think its an really important theme, and the movie is great • I think its great for people above 12 to see. • And I really recommend this movie.
