The director's sci-fi horror pulp details a bunch of scene-stealing ensemble cast portraying soldiers of fortune hired to sink the luxury liner the main setting. Yet a enormous cephalopod has beaten them to it! Featuring the endangered passengers are Famke Janssen as a gem smuggler.
A baby, abandoned on the passenger vessel a fictional ship, grows up to be a talented keyboardist (the main star) who never steps off the boat. The climax of this filmmaker's whimsical hokum is the protagonist competing in a keyboard contest with a historical figure, rather unfairly depicted as a arrogant character.
The main star plays a warrior-esque wanderer with mutated appendages and a enhanced watercraft in this big-budget futuristic thriller, taking place in a distant time where vanishing ice sheets have inundated the planet. The entire population is hunting for mythical Dryland while fending off Dennis Hopper and his gang of chain-smoking pirates.
Two hours of love story development between a upper-class woman (Kate Winslet) and an free-spirited artist (the actor) are redeemed by this filmmaker's spectacular recreation of a famous most infamous catastrophes. You have to admire the boldness of a film-maker who manages to twist a death toll of numerous victims into an inspiring narrative of freedom.
Commoners, artistic entertainers and German ideologists rub shoulders on a ocean liner sailing from North America to Europe in the interwar period. Stanley Kramer's epic includes a legendary actress, in her final role, as a unhappy separated woman, but it's a co-star, as the ship's doctor, and another cast member, as a political noblewoman, who deliver the movie with its dramatic punch.
The fictional ship is destroyed in an explosion and Robert Stack's partner (Dorothy Malone) is trapped in their room in this compelling proto-disaster pic. Will Stack and a brave technician (the supporting player) rescue her before the boat submerges? Fun fact: the Claridon is embodied by the renowned European vessel a real ship.
Angela Lansbury are among the killing culprits on board a African vessel in this celebrity-filled mystery writer whodunit. The lead actor, as the Belgian sleuth, fails to stop half the cast being stabbed, which reduces his potential killers to a manageable number. Significantly better than the modern adaptation.
Two lead actors portray a husband and wife attempting to recover from the pain of their child's passing by sailing their boat for a spin in the Pacific, where they rescue a co-star from a damaged vessel. Costly error! This filmmaker's suspense film is fundamentally a slasher movie at on the ocean, but an ultra-classy one that launched her career.
An Englishman, moving furniture for an wealthy entrepreneur, is manipulated into hiring a run-down "Scottish vessel" in this filmmaker's dark British film in the rebellious tradition of his own earlier film. Naturally, the ship's UK commander and crew trick the main characters for a ride, in every meaning of the word.
The director gives his suspense story a state-of-the-nation angle in this nerve-shredding yarn of explosives planted on a luxury liner, the fictional ship. Red wire or blue wire? Two lead actors act as demolition specialists; another actor, as the ship's entertainments director, provides a heartbreaking study in humorous tragedy.
This adaptation of Paul Gallico's literary work is one of the high points of the 1970s disaster genre. The SS Poseidon is overturned by a tidal wave, and it's the responsibility of the lead character to guide his flock through the flipped vessel to rescue. Shelley Winters is memorable as a small business owner's partner with a useful experience of competitive swimming.
The lead actor gives a mature exemplary performance in one-man show as a person fighting to stay alive in the maritime location after his personal boat, the Virginia Jean, is damaged in a crash with an stray shipping container. It's nerve-wracking enough to watch, so it's difficult to comprehend how exceptionally strenuous it must have been for the senior performer to record.
Tom Hanks does sterling work in part of his regular-guys-under-intolerable-pressure roles, as the captain of an US merchant vessel hijacked by maritime criminals off the Horn of Africa. His performance is complemented by a co-star ("Now I'm in charge"), delivering a remarkable initial cinematic appearance as the pirate chief in Paul Greengrass's suspense film, inspired by actual incidents. Should the last scene fails to move you, you're emotionally detached.
