Action Adventure. When a rogue wave capsizes
a luxury cruise ship in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean,
a small group of survivors find themselves unlikely allies in
a battle for their lives. Preferring to test the odds alone,
career gambler John Dylan (Josh Lucas) ignores captain’s
orders (Andre Braugher) to wait below for possible rescue and
sets out to find his own way to safety. What begins as a solo
mission soon draws others as Dylan is followed by a desperate
father (Kurt Russell) searching for his daughter (Emmy Rossum)
and her fiancé (Mike Vogel), a young couple who hours
before couldn’t summon the courage to tell him they were
engaged and now face much graver challenges. Along the way they
are joined by a single mother (Jacinda Barrett) and her wise-beyond-his-years
son (Jimmy Bennett), an anxious stowaway (Mia Maestro) and a
despondent fellow passenger (Richard Dreyfuss) who boarded the
ship not sure he wanted to live but now knows he doesn’t
want to die. Determined to fight their way to the surface, the
group sets off through the disorienting maze of twisted steel
in the upside-down wreckage. As the unstable vessel rapidly
fills with water each must draw on skills and strengths they
didn’t even know they possessed, fighting against time
for their own survival and for each other.
