The Poseidon Adventure
Inspired by the original novel and film. Passengers on a capsized cruise ship struggle to survive and find a way out.
Inspired by the 1969 novel by Paul Gallico and the 1972 film adaptation.
It's midnight on New Years Eve and jubilant passengers on the SS Poseidon are celebrating when the ship is struck by a 90 foot tidal wave and capsizes. Now desperate for freedom from their upside down prison, several groups of passengers and crew try to make their way up towards the hull. On the way they have to face fire, flooding and each other in a desperate bid for their own survival.
AN: I do not own the novel or the movie. The novel belongs to the Gallico estate and the publishers and the movie belongs to 20th Century Fox.
