One of the most gripping disaster films of all time follows ten survivors as they struggle to escape from an ocean liner capsized by a tidal wave. Suspenseful terror - combined with the victims’ intimate and personal stories - results in compelling and heart-stopping drama. Nine Academy Award nominations and a win for Best Visual Effects make this film a true classic. (20th Century Fox Home Entertainment)
