E' la sera dell'ultimo dell'anno e a bordo del transatlantico Poseidon, al largo del Nord Atlantico, sono iniziati i festeggiamenti. Il Poseidon è una delle navi da crociera più belle, con i suoi venti piani di altezza, 800 cabine e 13 ponti. Questa notte molti degli ospiti si sono dati appuntamento nella magnifica sala da ballo per festeggiare l'arrivo dell'anno nuovo. Brindano con coppe di champagne mentre il capitano Michael Bradford pronuncia un discorso e l'orchestra attacca una versione di Auld Lang Syne. Nel frattempo, sul ponte, il primo ufficiale intuisce che qualcosa non va. Esplorando l'orizzonte vede un'onda anomala, un mostruoso muro d'acqua alto un centinaio di metri che si sta avvicinando a una velocità pazzesca. Cerca di eseguire una manovra per evitare l'impatto, ma è troppo tardi, l'onda si abbatte sulla nave con una forza tremenda,colpendola sul fianco sinistro prima di farla capovolgere...
