A infant, left on the transatlantic liner SS Virginian, grows up to be a accomplished musician (the main star) who never steps off the vessel.

Richard Harris act as demolition specialists; Roy Kinnear, as the cruise director, provides a heartbreaking depiction in humorous tragedy.

The fictional ship is flipped over by a tsunami, and it's up to the main protagonist to guide his group through the inverted vessel to rescue. the actress is remarkable as a small business owner's partner with a handy experience of sports participation.
9. Everything's Gone (2013)
Robert Redford provides a experienced brilliant acting in one-man show as a individual fighting to endure in the maritime location after his personal boat, the fictional ship, is harmed in a crash with an stray cargo box. It's stressful enough to observe, so it's difficult to comprehend how physically gruelling it must have been for the senior performer to film.
8. Ship Commander (2013)
The lead actor provides outstanding acting in one of his everyman-in-crisis roles, as the captain of an US merchant vessel commandeered by maritime criminals off the Horn of Africa. He's matched by Barkhad Abdi ("I'm the captain now"), delivering a sensational film debut as the criminal boss in Paul Greengrass's tense movie, derived from true stories. When the concluding moment fails to move you, you have no heart.
