The luxury cruise liner, the SS Poseidon is making its
final Mediterranean voyage when it is hit by a tidal wave
caused by an underwater earthquake. The wave turns the ship
upside down stranding the passengers underwater. A small group
of survivors, led by Reverend Frank Scott begin a slow and
treacherous climb to the ships hull in a bid to reach safety...
Arguably
one of the best adventure disaster movies ever made, The
Poseidon Adventure has a strong cast who manages to pull
off suspense, horror and a few touching moments.
I
hadn't seen this movie for a good 15 years and had forgotten
that Leslie Nielsen played the part of the captain. After
associating him with both the Airplane and Naked
Gun movies since then, I kept waiting for him to make
a wisecrack remark.
The
only extra of any merit is a 10-minute featurette on the movie
which has a few interviews with cast and crew members that
was released at the same time as the movie
I
very entertaining movie that hasn't aged much. It is no wonder
that it received a Special Achievement Academy Award in 1972
for its visual effects.
