The Poseidon Adventure

(1972) Channel 5, 4.25pm

Arguably the best of the 1970s disaster movies, this tense, Oscar-winning thriller stars Gene Hackman as the leader of a group of survivors trying to make their way out of a capsized luxury cruise liner. Shelley Winters, Red Buttons and Roddy McDowall are also among the all-star cast. ★★★★★
