Speed 2: Cruise Control is a 1997 American action film and a sequel to the critically acclaimed and commercially successful film Speed. The movie is directed by Jan de Bont and stars Sandra Bullock, Jason Patric, and Willem Dafoe in lead roles. The movie begins with Annie Porter (Sandra Bullock) and her boyfriend, Alex Shaw (Jason Patric), on vacation on a luxury cruise ship in the Caribbean. Alex is a police officer who has recently been promoted to a detective, and Annie is a computer programmer who is enjoying her break from work. However, their peaceful vacation is interrupted when a group of terrorists, led by John Geiger (Willem Dafoe), hijacks the ship.

Geiger is a former employee of the cruise line who has been fired for his unstable behavior. He has plotted revenge against the company by taking control of the ship and holding the passengers hostage. He plans to steal valuable jewelry and escape with his team on a boat, leaving the passengers to die on the sinking ship.

To make things worse, the ship is heading towards an oil tanker that will explode on impact, causing a catastrophic disaster. Geiger has rigged the ship's controls, and the crew members are unable to change the course. The only person who can stop the ship and save the passengers is Alex, and he must act fast before it's too late.

Alex and Annie work together to stop the terrorists and take control of the ship. They face several obstacles, including man-eating sea creatures, an underwater minefield, and the ship's automated controls. However, with their quick thinking and resourcefulness, they manage to overcome these challenges and prevent the ship from colliding with the tanker.

Meanwhile, Geiger becomes increasingly erratic and unstable. He is obsessed with his plan, and he will stop at nothing to see it through. As the situation worsens, Alex and Annie must find a way to stop him before he causes irreparable damage.

The action sequences in the movie are intense and exciting. The movie features a series of thrilling set-pieces, including a high-speed chase on jet skis, a harrowing helicopter rescue, and a heart-stopping finale where the protagonists must stop the ship from crashing into the tanker. The special effects used in the movie are impressive and add to the overall tension and excitement.

The performances of the lead actors are commendable. Bullock delivers a strong performance as the witty and intelligent Annie, while Patric shines as the hero who must save the day. Dafoe is convincing as the unhinged villain who is determined to carry out his plans.

Overall, Speed 2: Cruise Control is an entertaining movie that features thrilling action sequences and solid performances from the cast. While it may not be as good as its predecessor, it stands on its own as an enjoyable and exciting action movie.

Speed 2: Cruise Control is a 1997 action movie with a runtime of 2 hours and 1 minute. It has received poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 3.9 and a MetaScore of 23.
