De Poseidon is een luxueus schip met reusachtige afmetingen, dat haar laatste reis maakt van New York naar een Grieks scheepskerkhof. De eigenaren willen zoveel mogelijk geld besparen en zetten de kapitein onder druk om zo snel mogelijk op de plaats van bestemming aan te komen, iets wat de motoren van het oude schip niet meer aankunnen. Tijdens de viering van het nieuwe jaar gebeurt het onvermijdelijke. Een enorme vloedgolf laat het schip kapseizen en er vallen talloze doden en gewonden. Tien overlevenden beginnen daarop aan een slopende ontsnappingstocht uit het snel zinkende schip.
Nee, helaas is The Poseidon Adventure nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
