Earthquakes, tidal waves, infernos and the unforgettable songs of the '70s take center stage in THIS side-splitting homage to classic disaster films
It's 1979, and New York's hottest A-listers are lining up for the opening of a floating casino and discotheque. What begins as a night of boogie fever quickly changes to panic as the ship succumbs to multiple disasters. As the night turns into day, everyone struggles to survive and, quite possibly, repair the love that they've lost...or at least escape the killer rats.
