“Super-suspenseful and terrifying. Titanic and Jaws combined.” -Pia Lindstrom, FOX-TV
Atlantic swells form 100-foot walls. Wind shrieks at a maxed-out Force 12. In October 1991, three raging weather fronts–one of them Hurricane Grace–combine to form the greatest storm in recorded history. George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg lead a talented cast in this harrowing special-effects adventure that intercuts the plight of seafarers struggling to reach safe harbor with the heroics of air/sea rescue crews. Directed by Wolfgang Petersen (Poseidon), The Perfect Storm tosses excitement your way in waves.
