The film interviews former Sealand trainers and witnesses, who describe the aggressive behavior of [[Tilikum (orca)|Tilikum]] and the other whales in captivity. The film also examines the practice of taking orcas from the wild and placing them in small, artificial environments, and the physical and psychological effects of such confinement on these highly intelligent and social animals.

 The centerpiece of the film is the death of SeaWorld trainer Dawn Brancheau in 2010, who was killed by [[Tilikum - orca|Tilikum]] during a performance at the Orlando park. Blackfish examines the events leading up to the attack, as well as the aftermath, including the investigation by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the controversy surrounding SeaWorld's handling of the incident.
