The Poseidon Adventure is a 2005 American made-for-television disaster film based on Paul Gallico's 1969 novel of the same name. It is a remake of the 1972 film of the same name.

Production

The film was developed as a miniseries by Larry Levenson Productions, directed by John Putch, written by Bryce Zabel, and starring Adam Baldwin, Rutger Hauer and Steve Guttenberg. Filming took place in late 2004. It was initially slated to air on the Hallmark Channel, before NBC picked up the film. It was made shortly before a 2006 theatrical film based on Paul Gallico's novel The Poseidon Adventure was produced by Warner Bros.

In the United States, NBC premiered the film in three-hour timeslot on November 20, 2005; while the film runs 174 minutes in total, about forty minutes of material was cut for the NBC broadcast to fit commercials. It also aired in 2005 on the Seven Network in Australia (with the name The New Poseidon Adventure), and in 2006 on the USA Network in the United States.

The film's final scenes include details from the novel of the Poseidon's sinking that were not part of the 1972 film adaptation. The final shot was from the air as the ship's propellers slipped beneath the surface, which, by design or coincidence, matches several photographs taken by a news plane of the final moments of the SS Andrea Doria in 1956.
