The Poseidon Adventure was filmed in 1972 aboard the RMS Queen Mary. This ship experienced a similar situation in real life while serving as a troopship in 1942 (except the RMS Queen Mary only rolled over 52 degrees when the wave hit, instead of capsizing) and the book that the film was based on was inspired loosely on that incident. The film was nominated for and won several awards, including two Academy Awards.
