The Day After Tomorrow

ActionAdventureSci-FiThriller124 min

Paleoclimatologist Jack Hall warns U.N. officials that abrupt climate shifts could trigger a new ice age, but the warning lands too late as superstorms begin tearing across the planet. Dennis Quaid is Jack, crossing a rapidly freezing North America to reach his son after New York is hit by floodwater, snow, and plunging temperatures. In the city, Jake Gyllenhaal’s Sam is stranded in a Manhattan library with Laura (Emmy Rossum) and a small group sheltering from the storm, while governments scramble to evacuate millions before the cold closes in.
