Plot summary: < /p>
"Doomsday" depicts a science fiction story in which the earth, represented by the United States, suddenly cools down sharply in one day and enters an ice age. In the story, climatologist Jack Hall (played by Dennis Quaid) points out after observing prehistoric climate research that global warming caused by the greenhouse effect will cause unprecedented disasters on the earth. Dr. Jack warned government officials to take preventive action, but the warning was apparently too late. Dr. Jack Hall then urgently asked the Vice President of the United States to announce that people across the United States south of the 30th parallel should evacuate as quickly as possible toward the equator, and people north of this line should keep as warm as possible.
At this time, Dr. Hall learned that his son Sam (Jake Gyllenhaal) was going to New York alone to rescue his girlfriend, so he decided to risk going to New York to launch a rescue operation in the ice and snow. At this time, the disaster began in New York. Manhattan skyscrapers were hit by a strong cyclone and most of them were destroyed. Suddenly, a raging flood surged out of the subway tunnel. The flood swallowed New York, submerged the United States, and Europe ceased to exist under the flood. After that, ice and snow covered the entire earth's surface, and the Ice Age began.
When the camera returned to the United States again, those Americans who were lucky enough to survive fled to Mexico and asked to enter the refugee camps there. At the end of the film, the US president had to sigh and admit that the climate policy he pursued was a huge failure.
In July 2002, Fox defeated powerful rivals such as Paramount, DreamWorks, Universal and Warner Bros., and finally won the filming rights for "The End of the World" and invited Emeric ("Independence Day", "Kusra") This director who specializes in science fiction disaster themes also handed him a check of US$100 million. The film was originally scheduled to be released this summer, but due to the difficulty of producing the special effects scenes, the production cycle had to be extended, making it a gong blockbuster next summer. Quaid plays Hall, a paleoclimatology professor who has to solve a problem much more difficult than he's ever faced before: saving the frozen Earth.
