The movie explores the importance of selflessness and courage during times of crisis -- and how people are more important than profit. Other themes include perseverance and integrity.

The oil rig explosion kills 11 people. The scenes leading up to those deaths show how horrible the situation was, with people nearly drowning in oil, getting serious injuries from being thrown across rooms, and then not being able to survive explosions. Survivors are bloodied and bruised and deal with the post-traumatic stress of living when their colleagues did not. Some people panic and shut down in the face of the danger, while others focus on getting off the rig even if it means jumping into the water or pushing themselves onto a lifeboat.

In the opening scene, a married couple wakes up, kisses, and has goodbye sex. There's no nudity, and the camera focuses on the kissing. Bare shoulders and legs are visible.

Words include "s--t," one "f--king," and occasional "goddamn it," "bitch," "damn," "hell," "stupid," and "ass." Swearing frequency increases once the danger level escalates.
