Storyline

When a freak wave capsizes a luxury ocean liner 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 the orders of the captain (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 desperate father Robert (Kurt Russell) searching for his daughter, Jennifer (Emmy Rossum) and her fiancé Christian (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 single mother Maggie (Jacinda Barrett) and her wise-beyond-his-years son Conor (Jimmy Bennett), anxious stowaway Elena (Mía Maestro) and a despondent fellow passenger named Nelson(Richard Dreyfuss) who boarded the ship not sure he wanted to live after breaking up with his significant other, 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 know they possessed, fighting against time for their own survival and for each other. The Draupner wave, a single giant wave measured on New Years Day 1995, finally confirmed the existence of freak waves, which had previously been considered near-mythical Freak waves, also known as rogue waves or monster waves, are relatively large and spontaneous ocean surface waves which can sink even...

Like the film The Poseidon Adventure based many of its sets on rooms aboard the RMS Queen Mary, the set designers for the 2006 movie Poseidon drew inspiration for some of the spaces on board the fictional Poseidon from rooms aboard the RMS Queen Mary 2, most notably in the Poseidon's ballroom, which is modeled on the main dining room of the Queen Mary 2.

On the soundstage, separate sets for each main room were built - one "right-side-up" and the other "up-side-down." The interior (and exterior) shots of the ship rolling were constructed using CGI. The pseudopod in The Abyss marked CGIs acceptance in the visual effects industry. ...
