Final Voyage

During the Chinese New Year voyage, eight hijackers led by Josef board the luxury cruise ship after being dropped off by a seaplane. They shoot the bridge deck crew, a ship's cook, and a waiter, and rapidly seize control of key areas. The mood shifts from celebration to fear as the passengers realize they are under attack.

The hijackers terrorize all the passengers in the ballroom during their elegant night with the captain. They assert dominance and threaten violence to keep order while the crew is subdued. The scene sets the stage for a long, desperate hostage ordeal.

Josef drags the Captain and the cruise director to the Bridge deck and coaxes them to reveal the vault's location. The hostage situation tightens control over the ship and raises the stakes for any attempt to intervene. The safety of the passengers hinges on the answers they provide.

Two of the eight hijackers begin taking passengers as hostages, widening the crisis across the vessel. The crew is overwhelmed, and fear spreads among the passengers. The ship's authority erodes as the hijackers tighten their grip.

Aaron Carpenter, a passenger and celebrity bodyguard, remains undetected by the hijackers and initiates a bold rescue attempt with his wife and the chief engineer. They move to stay hidden while assessing the threat and looking for an opportunity to intervene. The plan focuses on catching the hijackers off balance.

Aaron and his group shoot two hijackers and evade others as they pursue different threats throughout the ship. They manage to avoid capture and regroup to press the initiative. The action accelerates as the rescue plan tightens.

The group hides in a cellar in the engine room. Aaron informs Josef via one hijacker's radio, outlining their plan and noting that three hijackers have already been killed. Josef then uses the threat of a surrendered ship to force Aaron to talk on a doomed trap.

Because Aaron refuses to surrender, Josef executes the cruise director and orders the remaining hijackers to hunt him down. The hijackers prepare to breach the vault with explosives, turning the operation into a race against time. The tension spikes as the ship looms closer to collapse.

The hijackers advance to breach the vault using C4 explosives, hoping to access a large stash of cash. Aaron and his team race to intercept them and prevent the theft. The pursuit threads through the ship as alarms sound and alarms spread.

The vault breach detonates explosives that rupture the ship's hull and create a widening hole. Water rushes in, and the ship begins to take on sea quickly. The crew scrambles to evacuate while the hijackers press their attack.

With the ship taking on water, Josef executes the Captain and escapes, leaving a power vacuum for the remaining hijackers. The loss of leadership heightens panic and accelerates the ship's downfall. The attackers push toward their final objective amid total mayhem.

Gloria Franklin and the chief engineer evacuate the 2,500 passengers into lifeboats, shooting the remaining hijackers to protect the evacuees. The evacuation is chaotic but organized, showing the crew's resolve to save lives. The ship's deck becomes a race against time as the water climbs.

Aaron tracks down Josef and fatally stabs him with a cook's knife, ending the mastermind's threat. The immediate danger to the survivors is reduced, but the ship remains in peril as water continues to flood in. The act marks a turning point toward rescue and recovery.

Explosives have detonated and created multiple breaches in the hull, causing the ship to sink rapidly. In the final seconds, Aaron, his wife, and the remaining passengers jump into a lifeboat and flee. They watch the luxury liner tilt and disappear beneath the Pacific Ocean.
