A thankfully simplified version of how oil is found and pumped into your home, the film has the most basic and educationally helpful description of how an oil well is drilled. Is also tells of how important pumps are and how the oil gets to the refineries. After that, well, whenever films talks of cracking, my eyes usually glaze over. But nevertheless, a very good film from Jem Handy.
