Top Critic"timo filme-catástrofe que, além do habitual elenco estelar e da excepcional direção de arte, conta com tensas seqüências de ação.

Pure '70s Hollywood.

The Poseidon Adventure was one of the first disaster flicks and it arguably remains the best.

One of the best of the 1970s all-star disaster movies.
