Synopsis:

  
One of the most griping escape films of all time follows ten survivors as they struggle to escape from an ocean liner capsized by a tidal wave. Suspenseful terror, combined with the victims' intimate and personal stories, results in compelling and heart-stopping drama. The distinguished talents of 15 Academy AwardŽ winners, along with the incredible special effects, make this film a true classic.
