Summary of the story
The RMS Poseidon, a luxurious cruise vessel, is currently undertaking a transatlantic voyage. Accompanying former New York City Mayor and firefighter Robert Ramsey are his daughter Jennifer and her partner Christian Sanders, who are soon to be engaged. Other notable passengers include former Navy submariner-turned-professional gambler Dylan Johns, architect Richard Nelson, widowed Maggie James and her son Conor, stowaway Elena Morales, waiter Marco Valentine, singer Gloria, and Captain Michael Bradford.
During a New Year's Eve celebration, the ship's officers on the bridge observe a colossal rogue wave approaching the vessel. In an attempt to survive the wave, they endeavor to steer the ship to starboard, facing the wave head-on. However, the ship fails to turn quickly enough, and the wave engulfs and overturns the vessel, resulting in the loss of many passengers and crew, including the bridge officers.
In the aftermath of the disaster, a severely injured Captain Bradford endeavors to restore order and reassure the surviving passengers that assistance is on its way. Despite his efforts, Dylan leads a group consisting of Conor, Maggie, Robert, Richard, and Valentine towards the bow of the ship, where he believes they will have the best chance of escaping from the capsized liner.
