The SS Poseidon is overturned by a tsunami, and it's the responsibility of Reverend Gene Hackman to lead his group through the inverted ship to security. a supporting player is unforgettable as a retailer's spouse with a practical background of athletic swimming.
9. All is Lost (2013)
Robert Redford provides a late-career masterclass in one-man show as a individual fighting to stay alive in the maritime location after his personal boat, the fictional ship, is harmed in a impact with an errant transport unit. It's anxious enough to observe, so heaven knows how physically gruelling it must have been for the elderly actor to film.
8. Captain Phillips (2013)
The main star provides excellent performance in one of his everyman-in-crisis performances, as the skipper of an commercial transport seized by Somali pirates off the Horn of Africa. He's matched by Barkhad Abdi ("I'm the captain now"), making a remarkable initial cinematic appearance as the pirate chief in this filmmaker's tense movie, based on real events. If the last scene doesn't bring tears, you're emotionally detached.
