“Mayday”
In Wolfgang Petersen's Poseidon (2006), a transatlantic cruise liner is capsized by a colossal wave, transforming the vessel into a vertical maze of peril. Passengers and crew alike struggle against gravity and time, navigating the inverted ship's corridors and stairwells to reach the uppermost deck and a precarious escape. Amidst the chaos, personal dramas unfold, testing resilience and sacrifice as survival becomes the ultimate game of chance and skill.
