“A nonstop action film that doesn’t come up for air.” —Pete Hammond, Maxim

It’s New Year’s Eve on the Poseidon. Partying voyagers toast to the future. Then the future comes in a rush: a 150-foot rogue wave flips the cruise ship over…and a struggle for survival begins. Director Wolfgang Petersen (The Perfect Storm) returns to the sea with a thrill-packed, cutting-edge screen adaptation of Paul Gallico’s novel The Poseidon Adventure. Josh Lucas, Kurt Russell, Richard Dreyfuss, Emmy Rossum play passengers who must rely on each other as they seek safety through the water, flames and wreckage of an upside-down world.
