* MeanBoss: The higher ups and more middle management types at BP, to put it extremely mildly, don't come off very well. The hands-on supervisors right above the regular rig workers, though, [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure show serious foresight]] and suffer through the disaster just as much as everyone else.

* AdaptationDistillation: The movie barely touches on the disaster ''after'' the rig sinks. This counts as PragmaticAdaptation as well given how agonizingly depressing the entire situation was from the very beginning, with no single film able to depict all of the related details. The vast amount of oil that poured into the Gulf of Mexico virtually sterilized it and destroyed the livelihoods of hundreds upon hundreds of people. It took drilling multiple relief wells over ''months'' of time to finally bring the massive oil spill under control. Even years and years later, shrimp and fish got found with major birth defects and other problems.
** In fact, the actual cause of the leak was only conclusively proven after the Blow Out Preventer was lifted off the sea bed and examined. [[https://www.workboat.com/news/offshore/deepwater-horizon-blowout-preventer-failed-due-to-unrecognized-pipe-buckling-report-says/ It turned out to have contained a rather serious design defect]], which meant the leak continued even after the "scram button" was repeatedly pressed. Things wouldn't have been peachy if it had been made correctly, but it was one of the key reasons why the disaster kept going FromBadToWorse.

* TheBigBoard: BP corporate figure Don Vidrine (Creator/JohnMalkovich) uses this to draw a [[ExpositionDiagram large diagram]] illustrating his idea as to why the negative flow test (an important safety test run before the bigger work got started) had such a dangerous reading even though no mud (or oil, for that matter) came shooting back up into the rig. While the trope is played straight, the people in the room with him regard his theory with strong skepticism.
** A notable inversion of what actually happened. The "bladder effect" idea about a false pressure reading actually came ''from the Transocean crew''. Don felt uncertain enough about this to run things by his own superiors (off safely on land), who unwisely advised him to just drill. Both BP and Transocean personnel then came to an agreement, and, [[TemptingFate unfortunately...]]

* LastDayOfNormalcy: As the test is being carried out, we cut around to various individuals just going about their business, Mike on a video call with Felicia, the BP people in the conference room amusing themselves while they wait, a crewman on the ''Damon Bankston'' talking about how he's started doing yoga, all unaware of what the next few hours will bring.
