Beyond The Poseidon Adventure. 1979.

Two rival salvage parties head to the Poseidon with a chance of looting but come across more survivors, hidden cache of gold, money and plutonium.

Michael Caine is the captain of the small tugboat who is sailing the seven seas in rough weather on the same night the tidal wave hit the poseidon. How come his boat never hit a tidal wave? Oh yeah thats right..he's Michael Caine. Karl Malden is Caine's first mate who brings Sally Field along who does become annoying, she is a good actress but her character at times needs a slap. Telly Savalas is the Greek Svevo who has different intentions of being on board the Poseidon.

Don't know if its just me but this had very little suspense or tension in this than the first film and a lot of actors with good talent wasted in this. Irwin Allen took to the directors chair for the film and at times feels like did we really need a sequel to a original classic?
