Ghost Ship (2002) is a horror/thriller movie, directed by Steve Beck . The ship featured in the movie is based on a real life Italian cruise ship, the SS Andrea Doria, which sank in 1956 after colliding with another liner near Nantucket, Massachusetts.
Plot
Jack Ferriman, a Canadian Air Force pilot, spots a mysterious vessel running adrift in the Bering Sea. As it is in international waters, it can be claimed by whoever is able to bring it to a port. To do this he recruits a team of salvagers who are purported to be the best in the business. They set out on the Arctic Warrior, a tugboat. It turns out that the abandoned ship is the Antonia Graza, an Italian luxury liner that disappeared nearly 40 years ago, and believed to be lost at sea.
However, once the crew begins towing it back to land, they soon discover that the ship wasn't as deserted as they first thought, with the crew believing that the ship is haunted.
The opening scene is set in the 1960s, and contains a very memorable death scene, where a large group of dancers are sliced in half by a cable.
