Wealthy American Elgin Bates (Craig Wasson) wants an artifact that archaeologists have recently discovered in Greece. When he learns that the artifact -- a valuable sculpture -- is being stored on a heavily guarded ship, Bates hires a team of mercenaries to hijack the vessel. Also aboard the ship are daredevil John Spencer (Rob Lowe) and his wife, Chloe (Larisa Miller). The couple try to protect the artifact, but as the ship is sinking they must make a difficult choice.

I won't even discuss the dozens of stupid screenwriting blunders, the one-dimensional characters, or the simple idiocy with which the whole film was executed.

The write up is very misleading - it aint a cruise liner, its a ferry and it aint the sub that ruptures the fuel tanks on the ship, there's a gun battle on the car deck and a truck explodes. I can tolerate dodgy effects and a certain amount of passable, hammy acting but when a story is so poorly put together as this - that's what really lets a film down.
