Wahlberg stars as Mike Williams, an engineer on the rig who heads off to sea leaving his young family (Hudson stars as his wife) at home.   As the crew goes off to sea, things seem to be business as usual until Russell, the man in charge, begins duelling with BP executives who insist on going ahead with the drilling despite major safety concerns.
