Angela Lansbury are including the murder suspects on board a African vessel in this ensemble cast Agatha Christie whodunit.

Nicole Kidman portray a partners trying to get over the pain of their offspring's demise by sailing their boat for a trip in the ocean, where they recover Billy Zane from a foundering ship.

11. Unstoppable Force (1974)
The director gives his catastrophe film a state-of-the-nation angle in this tension-filled tale of detonators planted on a luxury liner, the fictional ship. What's the correct choice?

The fictional ship is capsized by a tsunami, and it's the responsibility of the main protagonist to direct his flock through the inverted vessel to security.

9. Total Loss (2013)
Robert Redford delivers a late-career masterclass in solo performance as a person struggling to survive in the Indian Ocean after his personal boat, the Virginia Jean, is harmed in a collision with an stray cargo box. It's anxious enough to observe, so it's difficult to comprehend how physically gruelling it must have been for the 76-year-old star to film.
8. Captain Phillips (2013)
The main star delivers excellent performance in among his regular-guys-under-intolerable-pressure characters, as the commander of an US merchant vessel seized by Somali pirates off the Horn of Africa. He has great chemistry by a co-star ("I'm the captain now"), delivering a remarkable first movie role as the criminal boss in the director's thriller, derived from true stories. Should the final sequence fails to move you, you're emotionally detached.
