When Canadian Air Force pilot Jack Ferriman (Desmond Harrington) recruits the salvage team from the tugboat Arctic Warrior to investigate a mysterious vessel he has spotted drifting in a remote region of the Bering Sea, they discover the remains of the Antonia Graza, an Italian ocean liner thought lost at sea in 1962. While boarding and making plans for towing, they begin to see strange things, e.g., Maureen Epps (Julianna Margulies) sees a little girl on the otherwise deserted ship, Greer (Isaiah Washington) hears a woman singing, and Captain Murphy (Gabriel Byrne) sees another face when he looks into a mirror. They also find a large cache of gold, but just as they decide to take it with them on the Arctic Warrior, the tugboat explodes, killing Santos (Alex Dimitriades) and leaving the rest of them stranded aboard the Antonio Graza, which is anything but deserted.

Ghost Ship is based on a screenplay by American screenwriters Mark Hanlon and John Pogue. The original idea was Hanlon's, and the original title for the movie was Chimera. Hanlon based his idea on the real life Italian cruise ship, the SS Andrea Doria, which sank in 1956 after colliding with another liner near Nantucket, Massachusetts. At least one version of the story has also previously been made, La nave del terror (1980).
