“The pressure is building...”
Volcanologist Harry Dalton arrives in the idyllic town of Dante's Peak to assess the ominous stirrings of its long-dormant volcano. As the mountain awakens with catastrophic force, Dalton, alongside the resolute mayor, orchestrates a desperate evacuation in the face of an infernal deluge of lava and ash. The film captures the town's inhabitants as they grapple with nature's unyielding fury, their survival hanging precariously in the balance.
