Great Telemovie, 12 December 2000
8/10
Author: nasfan

In this film we find a family man (Robert Urich) taking his family on a yachting vacation until things go sour and the boat sinks. The family is now on a raft trying to survive the best they can.

This is one of the better made-for-TV disaster films to come out of the early 90s and really did a good job at not going all out on drama or all out on special effects (that usual ruin good films). If you find it, watch it.
