The Poseidon Adventure. 1972.
After a cruise ship is hit by a 90ft tidal wave and flipped over, a mix band of people journey through the ship to find a way to escape the sinking ship.
Only thing outdated this film is the clothes, very old school special effects, plenty of sarcasm that at times can give out a snigger or two and nice put in tense moments. Gene Hackman plays the reverend who leads some to safety while along the way bickering with Ernest Borgnine and his wife Stella Stevens. There is good acting and a lot of effort of being strangers to arguementive along the way. Jack Albertson and Shelley Winters play the couple who are heading to Israel. Pamela Sue Martin and Eric Shea play the siblings who are travelling alone and have the sibling arguments.
From start to finish this has always been a great film and gives you characters that you do feel sympathy for, along the way everytime the survivors hit a certain new area of the ship something happens.
