Beyond the Poseidon Adventure is a 1979 American disaster film, a sequel to the 1972 film The Poseidon Adventure. It was directed by Irwin Allen and starred Michael Caine and Sally Field. The film was a critical and commercial failure, highly disliked by co-star Angela Cartwright, and was the only Allen disaster film not to receive any Academy Award nominations. The film continues the story from the original movie's conclusion. The Poseidon is still afloat, and the six survivors of Reverend Scott's team have been rescued. A tugboat captain, Mike Turner, discovers the wreck of the ship.... Accompanied by second mate Wilbur and passenger Celeste Whitman, he heads out to claim salvage rights on it, as the tugboat Jenny lost her cargo in the same storm that capsized it. They are soon followed by Dr. Stefan Svevo and his crew, who claim to be doctors who received the ship's SOS. They are actually after gold and a lost plutonium shipment. They board the doomed vessel and become trapped.
