Universal’s mega-budget disaster series rolled on with this wet and wild third installment. This time around, a state-of-the-art luxury airliner (it’s got Pong!) carrying priceless art and a who’s who of Hollywood veterans is hijacked and inadvertently plunged into the ocean, leaving the hysterical passengers to crawl the walls as they run out of oxygen. The all-star cast—including Jimmy Stewart, Jack Lemmon, Olivia de Havilland, Joseph Cotten, and Christopher Lee—sells the soap opera theatrics like the pros they are, making for a satisfyingly slick piece of pop escapism.
