Two lead actors portray a husband and wife trying to get over the grief of their son's death by taking their yacht for a trip in the ocean, where they save a co-star from a sinking schooner. Big mistake! Phillip Noyce's thriller is fundamentally a killers-on-the-loose story at in maritime setting, but an high-quality one that launched her career.

11. Overwhelming Power (1974)
Richard Lester gives his catastrophe film a political dimension perspective in this nerve-shredding story of bombs planted on a passenger ship, the main setting. What's the correct choice? Two lead actors play explosive technicians; another actor, as the ship's entertainments director, delivers a emotional study in humorous tragedy.
10. Ocean Disaster (1972)
This cinematic interpretation of the author's literary work is part of the high points of the seventies catastrophe films. The SS Poseidon is overturned by a ocean surge, and it's the responsibility of the lead character to guide his group through the inverted ship to security. the actress is remarkable as a shopkeeper's wife with a practical background of athletic swimming.
9. All is Lost (2013)
Robert Redford provides a late-career brilliant acting in single character portrayal as a man fighting to stay alive in the specific sea after his sailing vessel, the Virginia Jean, is harmed in a collision with an stray shipping container. It's nerve-wracking enough to watch, so one can only imagine how physically gruelling it must have been for the senior performer to record.
8. Ship Commander (2013)
Tom Hanks delivers excellent performance in among his everyman-in-crisis performances, as the captain of an commercial transport commandeered by Somali pirates off the specific location. He has great chemistry by another actor ("I'm the captain now"), delivering a outstanding film debut as the raider leader in Paul Greengrass's suspense film, inspired by real events. Should the concluding moment doesn't bring tears, you're not human.
7. Three-Sided Figure (2009)
