Hell, upside down. At midnight on New Year’s Eve the S.S. Poseidon was struck by a 90 foot tidal wave and capsized. Who will survive – in one of the greatest escape adventures ever!
The Poseidon Adventure (1972) follows a group of passengers who struggle to survive after their luxury ocean liner capsizes during a catastrophic New Year’s celebration.
