The Poseidon Adventure - Producer Irwin Allen helped usher in the disaster film craze with his star-studded, big-budget film of the SS Poseidon capsizing and a group of survivors trying to make it out alive. The Poseidon Adventure would become one of the most popular and successful disaster films of all time. Over thirty years later The Poseidon Adventure got the remake treatment, not once but twice! I take a look at the 1972 original and the 2006 big screen remake Poseidon.
