The Poseidon Adventure

In this remake of the 1972 disaster classic 'The Poseidon Adventure' (1972) , a luxury ocean liner capsizes, leaving its survivors to fend for themselves as they find a way out.  While ringing in the new year aboard the cruise ship Poseidon, a giant wave crashes into the ship and flips it upside down. A ragtag group of survivors realize their only chance is to make their way to the deepest bowels of the ship, now at the top, if they are going to have any chance of getting out.  The interior ship shots were filmed in two separate sound stages at Warner Bros. studios in Burbank, California, one in which the ballroom set was built right-side-up, the other where the identical set was built upside-down.  The upside-down set was built on top of a large water tank in the sound stage so that it can be filled with water and drained in a matter of hours.
