Volcano

In 1997's "Volcano," a seismic rupture fractures the serene surface of Los Angeles, unleashing molten lava from the earth's core to coalesce into a burgeoning volcano within the La Brea Tar Pits. Amid the ensuing chaos, the city's emergency management director teams with a geologist to deploy every available resource in a desperate bid to halt the infernal surge before it engulfs the metropolis. Director Tony Scott's blistering spectacle melds high-octane thrills with the unsettling reality of nature's untamed power.
