There's No Escaping Mother Nature.
A year ago the greatest quake in history rampaged America's West Coast. Get ready for some ground-splitting action and earth-shaking thrills, because nature isn't through...Another massive 10.5 quake tears apart the West Coast, threatening to turn the American landscape into a hellish wasteland. Seismologist Samantha Hill (Emmy winner Kim Delaney, TV's CSI: Miami) sees an even greater threat: an ever-widening fault line that's heading straight for the country's two largest nuclear reactors. If meltdown occurs, millions will die. Samantha and the American president (Emmy and Golden Globe winner Beau Bridges, TV's Stargate SG-1) agree only one man can help them - the scientist who predicted this terrifying natural disaster years before - Samantha's own father, Dr. Earl Hill (Golden Globe nominee Frank Langella, Good Night, and Good Luck), now counted as a possible casualty of a massive Las Vegas quake. Together with a crack rescue team including Brad (Dean Cain, Mayday) and Will (Oliver Hudson, The Out-of-Towners), Samantha must find her father and stop the fault from slicing uncontrollably toward millions of people and the ultimate nuclear apocalypse.
"As the ne'er-do-well egghead, Langella brings welcome vitality to the proceedings..." Brian Lowry, Variety
"...a miniseries that mixes realism and camp dialogue together to create a pretty fun experience." Dustin McNeill, DVDActive
Editor's Note
Bursting with special effects, the made-for-television film comes as the sequel to the hit 2003 TV miniseries 10.5. Also starring Kim Delaney and once again directed by John Lafia, 10.5 APOCALPSE begins with a 10.5-grade earthquake ripping apart the West Coast. But for a team of researchers, government officials, and scientists (played by an all-star cast that includes Beau Bridges, Dean Cain, and Frank Langella), the trouble is just beginning.
