Speed 2: Cruise Control

The 1997 American action film directed by Jan de Bont serves as a sequel to "Speed." The story takes place aboard the luxurious cruise liner "Seabourn Legend," where Annie Porter (Sandra Bullock) and her new boyfriend, police officer Alex Shaw (Jason Patric), embark on a romantic getaway. However, their vacation quickly turns into a life-threatening ordeal when former software developer Geiger (Willem Dafoe), seeking revenge against his former employer, takes control of the ship’s computer system and sets it on a collision course with an oil tanker. Realizing the catastrophic consequences, Alex must confront Geiger in a series of high-stakes confrontations while racing against time to save the passengers. Meanwhile, Annie is taken hostage, further complicating the situation and pushing Alex to his limits. The film features intense action sequences, including daring leaps across decks, explosive rescues, and a dramatic ocean pursuit. While the sequel did not achieve the success of its predecessor, it delivers high-energy stunts and impressive special effects, making it a visually engaging addition to the genre.
