Introduction
"Deepwater Horizon" is a 2016 American disaster movie directed by Peter Berg, produced by Mark Wahlberg, and composed by Matthew Michael Carnahan and Matthew Sand. Based on the real occasions of the Deepwater Horizon surge and oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, it stars Wahlberg, Kurt Russell, John Malkovich, Gina Rodriguez, Dylan O'Brien and Kate Hudson.

Plot Summary
The film begins with a narrative of the devastating 2010 oil spill from the Deepwater Horizon oil well, the largest in U.S. history. Mike Williams (Mark Wahlberg), primary electronic devices service technician, and Andrea Fleytas (Gina Rodriguez), a vibrant placing officer, are working on the oil rig when a well stability test fails. In spite of the obvious warning signs, BP executives, including Don Vidrine (John Malkovich), decide to proceed with production, ignoring safety treatments.

Driven by the pressure of cutting costs and increasing profit, the BP executives promote drilling to continue, ultimately resulting in the surge of the oil rig when high-pressure methane gas broadens into the drill pipeline, triggering a blowout.

Disaster Unfolds
The blowout causes a series of ravaging surges, debilitating the rig and setting it ablaze. Williams and his colleagues, consisting of Jimmy Harrell (Kurt Russell), the rig's manager, fight to make it through amidst the mayhem, trying to rescue as numerous employees as possible. The movie explores, in thrilling information, their desperate efforts to get away the inferno and the subsequent turmoil following the damage of the rig.

Aftermath
The aftermath of the disaster is huge, with eleven employees losing their lives and the resulting oil spill causing extensive ecological damage. The movie represents Mike's return house to his other half Felicia (Kate Hudson) and his determination to make it public the callousness of BP executives whose neglect resulted in the catastrophe.

Directorial Approach
Director Peter Berg's take on the disaster is not almost depicting the horrific occasions but also about focusing onto the heroism of the oil well workers. Berg concentrates on the human element, detailing the battles, sacrifices and bravery of the workers in the face of overwhelming catastrophe. Meanwhile, the fault of BP's management is plainly described, highlighting the tragic consequences of corporate greed and negligence.

Conclusion
"Deepwater Horizon" is a powerfully carried out and tensely paced disaster movie, a dramatic re-enactment of a major environmental disaster. It catches the dynamic lives of the oil rig workers and the lethal effects of the business directives that put earnings over security. Troubling, gripping, and scintillating, 'Deepwater Horizon' serves as a plain pointer of the true expense of neglect, making it an important watch.
