The Poseidon Adventure

(Ronald Neame, 1972)

a group of people looking down and to the right

Still one of the most beloved, cult-classic disaster films, The Poseidon Adventure follows an all-star cast fighting for survival (Gene Hackman! Ernest Borgnine! Leslie Nielsen! Shelley Winters! Stella Stevens! Roddy McDowall!) when a cruise ship gets capsized by a rogue wave. Everyone has to navigate a treacherous path to the top—er, the bottom—of the ship, including at one point climbing a giant Christmas tree. The absurdities and delights just pile up from there. (117 mins., 2K DCP)
