Also on board is Navy submariner-turned-professional gambler Dylan Johns (Josh Lucas), architect Richard Nelson (Richard Dreyfuss), Maggie James (Jacinda Barrett) and her son, Conor (Jimmy Bennett), stowaway Elena (Mía Maestro), and waiter Valentin (Freddy Rodriguez). As the passengers are celebrating a New Year's Eve party in the ship's ballroom, officers on deck sees a huge rogue wave heading towards them. Although they try to turn into it, the wave strikes them on the starboard side, killing the officers and many passengers on board, before the ship ultimately capsizes. Captain Bradford (Andre Braugher) tries to restore order and assures the remaining passengers that rescue boats will arrive in a couple of hours, and that they should remain in the ballroom. Unconvinced, Dylan leads Conor, Maggie, Robert, Richard, and Valentin towards the bow, where he believes they will have the best chance of escaping. As they head up, they have to cross an elevator shaft, which Valentin falls down, before being crushed by the falling elevator. They meet up with Jennifer, Christian, Elena, and gambler Lucky Larry (Kevin Dillon), who had all been in the nightclub section of the ship. The group crosses a makeshift bridge across the lobby, where Lucky Larry gets crushed by the engine. The pressure from the water finally cracks the ballroom windows, drowning its occupants, including Captain Bradford and New Year's singer Gloria (Stacy Ferguson) the two of whom face death with dignity in a final tearful embrace. With the water rising rapidly, the group is forced to escape through a vertical shaft and some pressure tanks, although Elena hits her head and dies. With the boat slowly sinking, the survivors soon find themselves in the galley where they find the bow section is flooded, until an explosion lifts it out of the water. With their path blocked by the propellers, and knowing that the control room is submerged in water, Robert swims away to turn off the engine. He finds the 'off' switch to be broken, but presses the reverse button instead, before drowning. With the propellers now spinning in the other direction, Dylan throws a nitrogen tank into it, causing an explosion that leaves a opening for them to escape through. The group takes cover in an inflatable raft left floating outside, and watch as the ''Poseidon'' sinks into the depths. After firing a flare, two helicopters arrive to rescue the six survivors. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Poseidon (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
