Countdown at Sea
1999, German. Directed by Mark von Seydlitz.
Professional diver Sven has a guilty conscience: his job means he has too little time for his family. He even almost misses the cruise ship on which he is supposed to look after their daughter while his wife does research for an article about the ship. But then terrorists take over the MS SeaStar and take Sven's wife and daughter hostage. They threaten to blow up the entire ship.
