, there have been a number of movies based on the notion of deep drilling. Few turned out well.

A bit over a mile deep isn't all that deep. We have many, many oil wells far deeper.

People who make movies don’t care about facts.

We have mines deeper.

"The deepest mine in this region (Witwatersrand) is currently Western Deep mine, a network of tunnels which penetrates 3.5 km into the Earth's crust."
