Dead Calm

This edge of your seat thriller follows an Australian couple (Nicole Kidman, Sam Neill), whose yacht cruise is violently interrupted by the lone survivor of a ship whose crew has perished.

When a veteran sailor and his wife rescue the half-delirious sole survivor of a crippled schooner on a dead-calm ocean, the skeptical husband rows to the disabled boat and finds a horrifying sight. Turning back to his own ship, he sees her racing away—with his wife on board—starting a desperate cat-and-mouse game on the high seas.

From the novel Dead Calm by Charles Williams.
