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.
