Forty miles off the coast of Louisiana, the Deepwater Horizon oil rig drills for oil in The Gulf of Mexico when disaster strikes. An explosion onboard kills several crew members, injures many others, and puts the lives of the entire crew in danger as they battle for survival. Based on the events of April, 2010, the explosion and subsequent fire result in the worst oil spill in American history, and far-reaching tragedy for American families, and put the heroism and grit of surviving crew members to the test.
