Jimmy insists on a test of the pressure entering the well from beneath the ocean floor. Jimmy locks horns with BP liaison Donald Vidrine (John Malkovich). While entertaining two BP executives who are visiting Deepwater Horizon (and who present him with a safety award during a brief ceremony), Mr. Jimmy and his crew arrive at the rig for their three-week-long turn on board, it's apparent that the departing shift (including Berg, in a cameo role, in which he briefly talks with Russell's character) hasn't done their due diligence in taking care of operation and safety concerns on the rig. Jimmy' (Kurt Russell, appearing on film for the first time with Hudson, who is his adopted daughter) is the caring, but tough and diligent Transocean foreman on Deepwater Horizon, who often finds himself at odds with BP's corporate representatives on the oil rig. Radio operator Andrea Fleytas (Gina Rodriguez) is a young, single woman who has a steady boyfriend and loves her vintage Ford Mustang, even if she does have trouble keeping it running. Master electrician Mike Williams (played by Mark Wahlberg, who Berg also directed in 2013's 'Lone Survivor') is a devoted family man with a loving wife (Kate Hudson) and a sweet and precocious daughter (Stella Allen), who's very proud of her dad and his job. Berg (with his screenwriters, Matthew Michael Carnahan and Michael Sand) personalizes the story by focusing on a few key people involved in the events depicted. This film is mainly a story about people. No one went to jail, but, according to Wikipedia, 'To date BP's cost for the clean-up, environmental and economic damages and penalties has reached $54bn.' But that's all scientific and industrial detail. The titular rig's owner, Transocean, and its client, BP, traded accusations of wrongdoing for years, while various cases worked their way through the courts – and a lengthy environmental clean-up of the gulf coast proceeded. Methane gas escaping up the rig's pipes enveloped it, ignited and eventually consumed the rig, which burned until sinking into the ocean 36 hours after the initial explosion. A combination of faulty equipment and human error caused the disaster. Berg directed 'Deepwater Horizon' (PG-13, 1:47), the dramatization of the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil rig explosion which killed 11 people and resulted in the largest oil spill in the history of the petroleum industry and the biggest environmental disaster in U.S.

He'd have to, considering how complicated this dangerous activity is, and how well he handled those complexities and portrayed that danger in his film.

Peter Berg makes movies, but he also knows a lot about deep-water oil exploration.
