At midnight on New Years Eve the S.S. Poseidon is struck by a 90' tidal wave and is capsized. The Reverend Frank Scott leads nine Survivors; an elderly couple, Manny and Belle Rosen headed to Israel to see their grandson; A New York detective and his ex-prostitute wife, Mike and Linda Rogo on their second honeymoon to Italy; A young brother and sister, Robin and Susan Shelby going to meet their parents in Greece; A haberdasher James Martin; a pop singer Nonnie Parry, and a waiter from the ship Acres. They travel from the grand ballroom struggling through, steam, fire and rising water in the up-side-down ship to reach the bottom (the propeller shaft), now the top.

    Irwin Allen at the top of his form. Don't see the remakes, see this one. Top notch cast, always something going on and when it came out, very successful and deservedly so. One of the scariest things is how Mr. Allen made the water a villain, like it had a life of it's own...always pursuing. It does show you hairstyles, music and fashion from the 70's though, so prepare for that!
