The Poseidon Adventure is a 2005 action and adventure film based on a novel by Paul Gallico. It is a remake of the 1972 film of the same name.
The plot centres on the SS Poseidon, a 135,000-ton state-of-the-art luxury cruise ship on a cruise from Cape Town, South Africa to Sydney, Australia carrying 3,700 passengers and crew. On New Year's Eve at Midnight, it is overturned by a terrorist bomb following an attack. Many passengers die when the ship turns upside-down except a small group who try to make it out of the ship via the hole created by the bomb. Eventually the survivors reach the hole, but find it too blocked by debris to use. Coming up with another idea, they head to the other side of the ship where a second unexploded bomb is located (this one was foiled) and detonate it and successfully open a hole in the hull. The survivors jump into the water and swim to nearby Navy boats and are picked up just as the ship begins to sink. The survivors watch as Poseidon sinks, while a British agent who had been helping out laments the fact that there are so few survivors.
The film was made for television by Larry Levenson Productions, directed by John Putch, written by Bryce Zabel,
