Dead Calm
HorrorThriller96 min
After the recent loss of their son, Rae and John Ingram take their yacht into the Pacific, hoping time alone at sea might steady them. Nicole Kidman’s Rae and her husband John (Sam Neill) are far from shore when they come across a sinking vessel and pull aboard Hughie (Billy Zane), its lone survivor. He arrives shaken and evasive, and the farther John looks into what happened on the other boat, the more dangerous the situation becomes. On a dead-calm ocean with no one else in sight, their private voyage turns into a fight for control of the yacht.
