Ask for the name of a capsizing movie. Long ago, it wasn't Poseidon.

You said this seems to be the old version of Poseidon, also called Poseidon Adventure, which is the version of 1972. Now the film source is hard to find. It was played on CCTV before.

Synopsis of story:

On New Year's Eve, new york's Poseidon bound for Athens is breaking the waves at full speed. In the hotel-style cabin, the New Year reception gradually reached a climax, and people frequently raised glasses and danced, waiting for another New Year full of songs and blessings. However, no one thought that at this moment, the 7.8-magnitude undersea earthquake near Crete is extending the claws of disaster to Poseidon.

Poseidon, the sea god, sank under the impact of huge waves caused by the submarine earthquake. When the celebrant woke up from the panic, most people had been swallowed up by the disaster. Because the hall is located in a sealed cabin, the celebrating people temporarily escaped the clutches of death. But despite this, death is still approaching step by step. In the face of a sudden disaster, contrary to Poseidon's purser's request that everyone stay put and wait for rescue, Reverend Scott directed everyone to climb high, and only in this way can they survive. Under Scott's encouragement and command, Mr. and Mrs. Ross, Mr. and Mrs. Manny, Susan's brother and sister, Miss Lanny and Mr. Martin climbed to the top of the crew's residence along the newly-built Christmas tree. After Scott's last persuasion was drowned out by the purser's strong opposition, people who insisted on waiting for rescue in the hall were instantly killed by the influx of seawater.

Crew members Axe and Ronnie are familiar with the hull structure, which allows Scott to determine a route through the kitchen, climb along the passage and ventilation shaft to the engine room, and then look for a chance to survive. However, it is such a life-and-death road that Mr. Rogge, a well-behaved and stubborn policeman, had a big fight with Reverend Scott. Scott's insistence prevailed in the quarrel. Under the guidance of Pastor Scott, a group of ten people passed the kitchen, crossed the passage, paid the price of the axe falling into the water and drowning, and found the position of the ventilation wellhead. Climbing out of the ventilation shaft, another group of lucky survivors, led by a crew member, insisted on walking towards the bow that had sunk to the bottom of the sea. Once again, faced with the choice of where to go, Scott's insistence once again shook the Rogge police. When crossing the ventilation shaft and climbing to the engine room on a higher deck, the hull that sank to the bottom of the sea exploded continuously, causing seawater to flow backwards and flooding the stairs that could have been walked over.

From this moment on, the two gates of hell stood among nine people who were frightened and confused between death and survival. After Pastor Scott, Mrs. Manny and Mrs. Rogge bravely left the team to seek survival opportunities, the remaining six finally groped their way to the engine room. At this point, the response of the outside world to the knock on the door gave the last six desperate people the joy of surviving. Finally, the sparks from cutting the steel plate opened a blue sky and continued to live on the heads of the last six people.

Wonderful point of view:

From 65438 to 0972, The Adventures of Poseidon directed by ronald neame was one of the few excellent disaster films. Directed by ronald neame, who is good at creating human flavor, an adventure of struggling for survival between death and survival brings the audience deep thinking about life and is moved by the brilliance of human nature forced by death.

As a disaster film with many big-name stars, The Adventures of Poseidon has been a great success in the world, winning the 45th Academy Awards Episode Award, Special Achievement Award for Visual Effects, and seven nominations for Best Supporting Actress, Art Direction, Photography, Costume Design, Original Music, Editing and Sound Effects.
