A baby, abandoned on the passenger vessel the central location, develops to be a talented keyboardist (the main star) who remains aboard the vessel.

Stanley Kramer's sweeping drama features Vivien Leigh, in her swan song, as a sad divorcee, but it's Oskar Werner, as the ship's doctor, and another cast member, as a political noblewoman, who provide the film with its powerful impact.

Angela Lansbury are among the homicide possibilities on board a Egyptian riverboat in this ensemble cast Agatha Christie murder mystery.

13. Dead Calm (1989)

Nicole Kidman play a married couple attempting to recover from the pain of their son's death by sailing their boat for a spin in the sea, where they rescue another actor from a sinking schooner. Costly error! Phillip Noyce's suspense film is basically a killers-on-the-loose story at sea, but an ultra-classy one that launched her career.

11. Unstoppable Force (1974)

The director gives his disaster thriller a political dimension perspective in this anxiety-inducing tale of explosives positioned on a passenger ship, the SS Britannic. Red wire or blue wire? David Hemmings portray bomb disposal experts; another actor, as the cruise director, serves up a heartbreaking depiction in sadly funny despair.

This adaptation of this writer's book is one of the peaks of the seventies catastrophe films. The SS Poseidon is flipped over by a tsunami, and it's the job of Reverend Gene Hackman to lead his followers through the inverted ship to rescue.

9. Total Loss (2013)

The main star gives a mature masterclass in solo performance as a individual fighting to endure in the specific sea after his yacht, the fictional ship, is harmed in a crash with an lost shipping container. It's anxious enough to watch, so heaven knows how exceptionally strenuous it must have been for the elderly actor to record.

8. Vessel Leader (2013)

The lead actor does sterling work in among his regular-guys-under-intolerable-pressure characters, as the commander of an commercial transport commandeered by African raiders off the specific location. His performance is complemented by Barkhad Abdi ("I'm the captain now"), providing a remarkable film debut as the pirate chief in the director's suspense film, inspired by real events. Should the concluding moment fails to move you, you have no heart.
