Poseidon is a high-stakes disaster thriller set aboard a luxurious cruise ship on New Year's Eve. When a colossal rogue wave capsizes the vessel, flipping it upside down, the surviving passengers must fight their way to safety through the flooded, overturned wreck. Led by former firefighter Robert Ramsey (Kurt Russell), a small groupÑincluding his daughter and her fianc√©Ñbraves rising water, deadly debris, and collapsing structures. As they climb toward the ship's hull, personal sacrifices and tense decisions define their survival. Directed by Wolfgang Petersen, the film delivers intense action, emotional stakes, and large-scale visual effects in a race against time.
