Poseidon

When a rogue wave capsizes a luxury cruise ship in the middle of the ocean, a small group of survivors find themselves unlikely allies in a battle for their lives. Preferring to test the odds alone, career gambler John Dylan (Josh Lucas) ignores captain’s orders to wait below for possible rescue and sets out to find his own way to safety. What begins as a solo mission soon draws others as Dylan is followed by a desperate father (Kurt Russell) searching for his beautiful daughter (Emmy Rossum) and her athlete fiancé (Mike Vogel). Along the way they are joined by a single mother (Jacinda Barrett) and her wise-beyond-his-years son (Jimmy Bennett), an anxious stowaway (Mia Maestro) and a despondent fellow passenger (Richard Dreyfuss) who boarded the ship not sure he wanted to live but now knows he doesn’t want to die. Determined to fight their way to the surface, the group sets off through the disorienting upside-down maze of twisted steel. As the unstable vessel rapidly fills with water, each draw on skills and strengths they didn’t know they possessed, fighting against time for their own survival and for each other.
