Supervolcano
2004, 156 minutes, Rated M
It's the near fture and the world finally faces up to the ultimate threat - not nuclear war on a terrorist attack - but the eruption of a gigantic 'SuperVolcano' simmering beneath Yellowstone park. This factual drama tells the story of a devastating disaster waiting to happen...
74,000 years ago, the last super-volcanic eruption plunged the world into darkness for six years, herald an Ice Age and reduced the human population to the brink of extinction. The next promises to be equally devastating - and it is already overdue...
Scientists, politicians and press are the first to sense the imminent disaster, but none can really envisage its cataclysmic consequences. As the bulging, molten lava bursts through the Earth's crust, local news feeds, diary footage, CCTV, family camcorder and real archive footage follow the ensuing human drama. As teh devastating, aftermath across the globe is revealed - environmentally, politically, economically and socially - the post-apocalyptic confusion takes hold. Can the human species ever recover from such a monumental event?
