Synopsis:
This
movie
takes
a
big-budget,
special-effects-filled
look
at
what
the
world
would
look
like
if
the
greenhouse
effect
and
global
warming
continued
at
such
levels
that
they
resulted
in
worldwide
catastrophe
and
disaster,
including
multiple
hurricanes,
tornadoes,
earthquakes,
tidal
waves,
floods
and
the
beginning
of
the
next
Ice
Age.
At
the
center
of
the
story
is
a
paleoclimatologist
(a
scientist
who
studies
the
ways
weather
patterns
changed
in
the
past),
Professor
Adrian
Hall
(Quaid),
who
tries
to
save
the
world
from
the
effects
of
global
warming
while
also
trying
to
get
to
his
son,
Sam
(Gyllenhaal),
who
was
in
New
York
City
as
part
of
a
scholastic
competition,
when
the
city
was
overwhelmed
by
the
chilling
beginnings
of
the
new
Ice
Age.
In
addition
to
all
of
the
other
challenges
Dr.
Hall
faces,
he's
also
going
against
the
flow
as
humanity
races
south
to
warmer
climes,
and
he's
nearly
the
only
one
going
north.
