Poseidon Adventure, The
Classic 1970s disaster movie starring Gene Hackman as a shouty priest, leading a group of people into the bowels of a cruise liner that's been flipped over by a giant wave
The first half of the 1970s saw Hollywood turning to the disaster movie genre, presided over by Irwin Allen, who produced 1972's The Poseidon Adventure and had a huge hit (it was the top-grossing film that year and was nominated for nine Oscars) then applied the same formula again for 1974's The Towering Inferno. These films, along with Earthquake, Meteor and The Swarm (and, to some extent their precursor Airport), saw rag-tag groups of stars and character actors facing all sorts of marvellously inventive adversity.
