Premise
The film explores the Titan submersible implosion and events leading up to it, told through whistleblower testimony, audio recordings, and footage of the beginnings of OceanGate.[2]
The film features interviews from former OceanGate employees including David Lochridge, who was OceanGate's former Director of Marine Operations and the primary whistleblower, former intern Emily Hammermeister.[3] Sydney Nargeolet, the daughter of Paul-Henry Nargeolet was interviewed and provided testimony as a victim's family member.[4] Additionally, Mark Harris, an investgiative journalist for Wired who reported on the OceanGate disaster was also interviewed for the film.[5]
Dennis Harvey of Variety wrote, "Gripping to a point if arguably a bit overlong, it has the grim suspense of similar nonfiction catastrophe accounts, like National Geographic's Tham Luang cave flooding film The Rescue without the inspirational angle — or, needless to say, the rescue."[10]
Matt Goldberg of TheWrap wrote that the film "fails to discover the depths of the issues that led to the fateful implosion of the submersible that claimed five lives in Summer 2023, placing sole focus on Stockton Rush's misdeeds."[11]
