氣候學家傑克霍爾（丹尼斯奎德飾演）觀察史前氣候研究指出，溫室效應帶來的全球暖化將會引發地球空前災難。傑克博士曾警告政府官員採取預防行動，但警告顯然已經太晚。當羅德島大小的冰山撞上南極洲冰棚後，全球氣候引發連鎖效應：冰雹重襲東京，空前颶風襲捲夏威夷，印度罕見飄雪，洛杉磯更颳起史無前例的龍捲風。傑克研究中的災變症候逐一顯現：南北極冰帽的融解將大量淡水注入海洋。在一場全球性超級暴風雨來臨後，地球將步入一萬年前的冰河世紀。 正當傑克警告白宮緊急應變的同時，他17歲的兒子山姆（傑克葛倫霍飾演）被困在紐約，面臨曼哈頓嚴重水患及不斷下降的溫度。山姆到曼哈頓公共圖書館避難，嘗試由電話聯絡父親，分秒必爭的傑克命令山姆，無論如何一定要守在室內，並盡量保暖。此刻美國正式宣布民眾大規模向赤道方向撤離，傑克隻身北上前往紐約救山姆，但傑克完全無法想像即將發生在他、他的兒子及地球上的一切。

In 1927, meteorologist Masanao Abe (1891-1966) established the Abe Cloud Air Current Research Observatory on the heights of Gotemba in Shizuoka Prefecture. Until 1942, through his contributions to research magazines and publications, he worked on elucidating the formation process of clouds above Mount Fuji. He left a colossal archive representative of modern meteorology, including pictorial records of every kind-- this one an early success, artistically.

Earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and extreme weather. Has Earth always been this way? Featuring footage of top geologic hot spots on every continent, the film traces the scientifically-based story of the 4.5 billion-year-old Earth, from the core to the crust and up into the atmosphere.
