Storyline
Did you know
- Trivia(at around 23 mins) Rachel mentions an incident in Paricutin. She's referring to the 1,500 foot (457.2 meters) volcano that emerged over a few months in 1942 in Paricutin, Michoacan, Mexico.
- Goofs(at around 1h 13 mins) The water dropped from the helicopters would have most likely vaporized by the heat before it could actually hit the lava.
- Quotes
Amy: Sometimes magma can find one of those fissures and rise up through it.
Roark: What's magma?
Rachel: Lava.
Roark: Lava? Right here in L.A?
Amy: It is one of the possibilities.
Roark: We have a history of that here in the downtown area?
Rachel: Paricutin... 1943, a Mexican farmer sees smoke coming out of the middle of his cornfield. A week later there's a volcano a thousand feet high. There's no history of anything until it happens. Then there is.

Those times there were no trailers or YouTube or any reviews. Enjoyed it a bit then but aft revisiting it, i found it to b lame.
The film doesnt have any tension or suspense. It has the same lava stuff going on again n again. The best part is, the film's name is Volcano but we dont get to see any mountain bursting. At times, the lava looked too fake. Even the plan and the strategy to contain/pool the lava and later divert the lava's direction is a big lol.
Anne Heche's character is a scientist but the character does stupid stuff.
The only good thing is the way Stan Olber (John Carroll Lynch) saves the driver. The jumping into the lava flow n throwing the driver to safety is epic.
