Storyline

Dr. Adrian Helmsley, part of a worldwide geophysical team investigating the effect on the earth of radiation from unprecedented solar storms, learns that the earth's core is heating up. He warns U.S. President Thomas Wilson that the crust of the earth is becoming unstable and that without proper preparations for saving a fraction of the world's population, the entire race is doomed. Meanwhile, writer Jackson Curtis stumbles on the same information. While the world's leaders race to build "arks" to escape the impending cataclysm, Curtis struggles to find a way to save his family. Meanwhile, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes of unprecedented strength wreak havoc around the world. Written by Jim Beaver <jumblejim@prodigy.net>

Trivia

Gerard Butler was considered for Jackson Curtis (the lead role), opposite of Amanda Peet, but because of scheduling conflicts he turned it down. The role went to John Cusack.  »

Goofs

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The latest Antonov model is the 225. The only completed AN-225 does not have a rear access door, but an uncompleted 225 airframe was built with this feature. Yuri Karpov may be rich enough to buy, finish, and re-designate the abandoned aircraft. Or it is meant to be an aircraft of "the future".  »

Quotes

Laura Wilson: How were all these people chosen?
Carl Anheuser: The same way your art was: By experts from all over the world. We had geneticists determine the perfect gene pool we need to repopulate.
Adrian Helmsley: These people were chosen by geneticists?
Laura Wilson: Looks to me like their checkbooks got them onboard.
Carl Anheuser: That's right, Dr. Wilson. Without billions of dollars from the private sector, this entire operation would've been impossible.
Adrian Helmsley: We sold tickets. And what about all these workers? They all get passes?
Carl Anheuser: What, life isn't fair? Is that it? You want to donate your passes to a couple Chinese workers, you be my guest.
