How to NOT Blow Up a Pipeline (But Still Watch a Movie About It) on Hulu
Ah, the internet. You type in "How to Blow Up a Pipeline" because, hey, action movies are your jam, and maybe there's a documentary about angry beavers with a vendetta against Big Oil (one can dream). But instead, you're greeted with enough government surveillance warnings to make Edward Snowden blush.
Hold on to your eco-warrior spirit, because we're here to extinguish any fiery impulses and point you in the direction of a perfectly legal way to get your pipeline-exploding fix.
Buckle Up for How NOT to Blow Up a Pipeline
The movie you seek, my friend, is called How to Blow Up a Pipeline. Important note: This is not a manual on how to become a rogue plumber with a grudge. It's a film that follows a group of young, idealistic environmentalists who are seriously fed up with the whole fossil fuel fiasco.
Think Ocean's Eleven meets Captain Planet, with a healthy dose of moral dilemma on the side. Will they succeed in their eco-terrorism heist? Will they grapple with the potential consequences? Will there be a montage of them learning how to use walkie-talkies without sounding like teenagers on a camping trip? (Spoiler alert: Probably yes to that last one.)
Why Should You Watch This Movie (Besides the Lack of Explosions)?
1. Cathartic Eco-Rage Release: Let's face it, the climate crisis can leave you feeling powerless. This movie lets you vent that frustration alongside some passionate characters, even if their methods are a tad unorthodox.
2. Action with a Conscience: It's not just about "boom goes the pipeline." The film explores the complexities of environmental activism, the desperation that can lead to such measures, and the toll it takes on those involved.
3. Laughs? In an Eco-Thriller? You Bet! Yes, this movie tackles serious issues, but it also knows how to keep things engaging with some witty dialogue and unexpected humor. Just because you're saving the planet doesn't mean you can't crack a joke or two, right?
So ditch the pipe bombs (seriously, don't), grab some popcorn, and head over to Hulu. How to Blow Up a Pipeline might not be the action flick you expected, but it's a thought-provoking ride worth taking.
P.S. If you do end up watching any documentaries about angry beavers with a vendetta against Big Oil, let us know. We're very interested.
