Release date: December 12th 1972.
Story: While sailing from New York to Athens during the early hours on New Years Day, The S.S Poseidon is struck by a 90 foot tidal wave... and capsizes. As the ship slowly begins to sink, a small group of survivors make their way upwards to the bottom of the ship in order to escape. Will they be able to get out alive? Watch the movie to find out.
My thoughts: This was released during the golden age of Disaster movies that were released during the 1970's. This movie was directed by Irwin Allen (Who was better known for creating well known television shows like Lost in Space, Voyage to the bottom of the sea, The Time Tunnel, and Planet of the Giants) and was based off of a novel by Paul Gallico. This movie was a massive success and lead the way for more amazing disaster movies like The Towering Inferno, The Swarm, Rollercoaster, Earthquake, and Avalanche. This is a great movie that will leave you on the edge of your seat and I would recommend it for any Disaster film fans.
My score: Five stars.
