Take an ocean voyage of full mast fright with Dead Calm, "a spare, smart, seductive piece of moviemaking with enough tension to keep US all hyperventilating for hours" (Sheila Benson, Los Angeles Times). Thriller specialist Philip Noyce (Patriot Games, the Saint) directs three splendid actors - Sam Neill, Nicole Kidman and Billy Zane - in riveting performances. Joe and Rae Ingham (Neill and Kidman) do the right thing and rescue the half-delirious sole survivor (Zane) of a crippled schooner. But soon the stranger will plunge the unwary pair into an intense battle of cat and mouse. And life or death.
