    Storyline

    Edit
    As Paleoclimatologist Jack Hall is in Antartica, he discovers that a huge ice sheet has sheared off. But what he does not know is that this event will trigger a massive climate shift that will affect the world population. Meanwhile, his son Sam is with friends in New York City to attend an event. There, they discover that it has been raining non-stop for the past three days, and after a series of weather-related disasters begin to occur all over the world, everybody realizes the world is about to enter a new Ice Age and the world population begins trying to evacuate to the warmer climates of the south. Jack makes a daring attempt to rescue his son and his friends who are stuck in New York City and who have managed to survive not only a massive wave but also freezing cold temperatures that could possibly kill them. —John Wiggins

    • Trivia
      Twentieth Century Fox invited a group of scientists to preview this movie, to test their reactions to the "science" used in it. None of the scientists were impressed with what they saw, although most conceded that the movie was enjoyable nonsense.
    • Goofs
      It's stated that the temperature that froze the gas lines was -150 degrees F but when the pilot opens the door you can see his breath. At 90 degrees F below zero your breath will freeze and fall to the ground.
    • Quotes

      Jack Hall: [on Sam failing calculus] I'm not angry. I'm disappointed.

      Sam Hall: Do you wanna hear my side of it?

      Jack Hall: Sam, how can there be two sides?

      Sam Hall: Hey, look, I got every question right on the final and the only reason why Mr. Spengler failed me was because I didn't write out the solutions.

      Jack Hall: Why not?

      Sam Hall: I do them in my head.

      Jack Hall: Did you tell him that?

      Sam Hall: I did. He didn't believe me. He said if he couldn't do them in his head then I must be cheating.

      Jack Hall: Well, that's ridiculous! How can he fail you for being smarter than he is?

      Sam Hall: That's what I said.

      Jack Hall: [smirks] You did? How'd he take it?

      Sam Hall: He flunked me, remember?

    ALL TIME FAVE DISASTER MOVIE.
    I don't get it why this film just got 6.4, maann the visual effect alone was amazing. The tension is so high especially the new york scene. Maybe the science isnt accurate but I found this film is very entertaining. I watched this when I was 9 or 10 yo, now I'm 24 and this film still my fave disaster movie. The tsunami, tornado etc was perfect. Good job for the writers, director, producer especially the cast.
