Poseidon 🎥 2006 Movie Info

Plot Summary

The RMS Poseidon, a British luxury ocean liner, is making a transatlantic crossing from London to New York City. Former New York City Mayor and firefighter Robert Ramsey is traveling with his daughter Jennifer and her boyfriend Christian Sanders to New York, soon to be engaged. Also on board are former Navy submariner-turned-professional gambler Dylan Johns, architect Richard Nelson, Maggie James with her son Conor, stowaway Elena Morales, her boyfriend and waiter Marco Valentine, singer Gloria, and Captain Michael Bradford. As the passengers are celebrating a New Year’s Eve party, officers on the bridge see a huge rogue wave heading towards the ship.

To survive the wave, they try to steer the ship to starboard to take the wave bow-first, but she does not turn fast enough. The wave swamps and capsizes the ship, killing the bridge officers along with most passengers and crew. In the ballroom, a badly injured Captain Bradford attempts to restore order and assures the surviving passengers that emergency beacons were launched and rescue is on the way within several hours, persuading them to stay put. Unconvinced, Dylan leads Conor, Maggie, Robert, Richard, and Valentine towards the bow, where he believes they will have the best chance of escaping the capsized liner. On their way to the bow, they encounter a lift shaft.

When Richard and Valentine are attempting to reach the entertainment section, the bridge they are crossing onto loses balance and falls leading to Valentine hanging from Richard’s leg. Dylan urges Richard to kick Valentine off to save his own life; Valentine falls and is killed below. They reunite with Jennifer, Christian, Elena, and gambler Lucky Larry, in the nightclub, and are the only survivors out of all of the occupants who had been electrocuted to death by mangled live wires. The group crosses the fallen lift shaft across the flooded lobby, where Larry gets crushed by an AC chiller.
