Add “Deepwater Horizon” to the list of 2016 films based on true events.
Mark Wahlberg is teaming up with “Lone Survivor” director Peter Berg again to star in this action-packed story chronicling the devastating aftermath of the 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Remembered as the worst spill in U.S. history, the incident involved a BP-operated rig exploding and sinking near the Mississippi River Delta before it unloaded millions of gallons of crude oil into the water for over a month.
Starring alongside Wahlberg’s oil rig worker Mike Williams are Kate Hudson as his wife, Kurt Russell, John Malkovich, and Gina Rodriguez.
“Deepwater Horizon” will have a nationwide theatrical release on Sept. 30.
