Most of the other passengers stay behind and are engulfed in a wave of water surging through the ship, leaving only the best known actors to survive. One of the passengers, a charismatic preacher (Gene Hackman) leads a ragtag group of survivors through the upside down ship towards the hull, from where they hope to be rescued. Somewhere in the Mediterranean, the ship encounters a colossal wave that turns it upside down. The film tells the story of SS Poseidon, a cruise liner en route from New York to Athens.

One of the earliest entries in the 1970s disaster movie cycle is The Poseidon Adventure. God give me strength! - Gene Hackman hangs in there For good measure, they also took care to remind us of the hazards of gold mines, roller coasters, swarms of bees and very tall buildings. The films of the decade were diligent in warning us of the dangers of cruise ships, transcontinental railways and especially airliners. If there's one thing we can all learn from the cinema of the 1970s, it's never to embark on any kind of luxury travel.
