The Last Voyage
“FIND YOUR S.Q.! What is your Suspense Quotient? How Much Suspense Can You Take?”
The S. S. Claridon is scheduled for her five last voyages after thirty-eight years of service. After an explosion in the boiler room, Captain Robert Adams is reluctant to evacuate the steamship. While the crew fights to hold a bulkhead between the flooded boiler room and the engine room and avoid the sinking of the vessel, the passenger Cliff Henderson struggles against time trying to save his beloved wife Laurie Henderson, who is trapped under a steel beam in her cabin, with the support of the crew member Hank Lawson.
A ticking clock of impending doom. The film ratchets up the tension as a doomed ship battles the elements and its own structural integrity. It’s a classic, gripping test of human will against overwhelming odds.
