Es ist Silvesternacht, und an Bord des Passagierdampfers "Poseidon" wird gerade eine rauschende Sylvester-Party gefeiert. Das Schiff ist unterwegs von New York nach Athen und hat das Mittelmeer erreicht. Die Passagiere ahnen nichts von einem Seebeben, das sich gerade vor Kreta ereignet hat, da wird das Schiff von einem Tsunami erfasst und kentert. Für die im Rumpf Eingeschlossenen ist der Ausweg über das Deck versperrt, und so wird unter den Partygästen heftig über die Möglichkeit einer Rettung gestritten. Eine kleine Gruppe, geleitet von Reverend Scott (Gene Hackman), entschließt sich, den Weg nach oben anzutreten, in Richtung Kiel. Die Aussicht, in der Nähe der Schraubenwelle aus dem Wrack befreit zu werden, treibt sie an...

6Was andere sagen
“The Poseidon Adventure” turns survival horror on its head by making the vices of its victims into their greatest moral strengths. Amongst the slate of other disaster films of its era, “Poseidon” is a league or two above the rest. That’s because - amidst the fiery devastation - it actually persuades the audience to care for its cast of characters. Each of the soon-to-be-sufferers in the film is introduced with a surefire vice: Gene Hackman’s preacher is a merciless objectivist, Ernest Borgnine married a prostitute and suffers from seasickness, and Shelley Winters’ retired shopkeeper has gained more than a few pounds in her silver years. Director Ronald Neame makes these failings so obvious; it seems to lay the fates of each character out in their first moments on screen. Except… Neame opts to steer the ship in a different direction. As the fortitude of the cast is tested while their ocean liner sinks, these faults become moral strengths. It’s as if to say; we are not burdened by our weaknesses, but emboldened by them in times of true crisis. While “Poseidon” hardly finds uncharted waters with regards to its genre contributions as a whole, Neame does at least deserve a salute for the arduous feat of remaining humanist under fire. Sweaty Dudes Cinema: Runner-Up: Nobody can see sweat when you’re downing underwater.
