The Day After Tomorrow is a 2004 American science-fiction disaster film that depicts the catastrophic effects of global warming in a series of extreme weather events that usher in a new ice age.It did well at the box office,grossing $542,771,772 internationally.Domestically,it is the sixth highest grossing movie not to be #1 in the US box office (behind My Big Fat Greek Wedding,Alvin and the Chipmunks:The Squeakquel,Alvin and the Chipmunks,Sherlock Holmes,and Ice Age:Dawn of the Dinosaurs),but worldwide,it is second behind only Ice Age 3.The movie was filmed in Montreal,and is the highest grossing Hollywood film in history to be filmed in Canada (if adjusted for inflation).
The hero of this movie,Jack Hall,(Dennis Quaid) is a paleoclimatologist who is on an expedition in Antarctica with two colleagues,Frank (Jay O.Sanders) and Jason (Dash Mihok),drilling for ice core samples on the Larsen Ice Shelf for the NOAA when the ice shelf breaks off from the rest of the continent,and Jack almost falls to his death.Jack presents his findings on global warming at a United Nations conference in New Delhi where diplomats,including the Vice President of the United States,(Kenneth Welsh),are unconvinced by Jack's theory.
However,Jack's concerns resonate with Professor Terry Rapson (Ian Holm) of the Hedland Climate Research Centre in Scotland.Two buoys in the North Atlantic simultaneously show a massive drop in the ocean temperature,and Rapson concludes that melting of the polar ice has begun disrupting the North Atlantic current.He contacts Jack,whose paleoclimatological weather model holds reconstructional data of the climate change that caused the first Ice Age,to predict what will happen.Jack believed that the events would not happen for a hundred or a thousand years,but he,Frank,Jason,and NASA's meteorologist Janet Tokada (Tamlyn Tomita) build a forecast model with his,Rapson's,and Tokada's data.
Across the world,violent weather causes mass destruction,including a snowstorm greatly impacting New Delhi,a hailstorm ultimately destroying Tokyo,Japan,and a large outbreak of three F-5 tornadoes wrecking Los Angeles.The U.S.President (Perry King),authorizes the FAA to suspend air traffic over the United States due to severe turbulence.As three RAF helicopters fly to evacuate the British Royal Family,they enter the eye of a very massive hurricane-like superstorm,that causes a temperature drop below −150 掳F (−101.1 掳C) that freezes their fuel lines and rotors,causing them to crash down and quickly freeze to death.
Meanwhile,Jack's son,Sam,(Jake Gyllenhaal) is in New York City for an academic competition with his friends Brian and Laura (Arjay Smith and Emmy Rossum),where they also befriend a student named J.D.On the flight over,there is severe turbelence,and Sam grabs Laura's hand in fright.During the competition,the weather becomes massively violent with intense winds and flooding rains.Sam calls his father,making a promise to be on the next train home.Unfortunately,the storm worsens,forcing subways and Grand Central Station to close.As the storm worsens in Manhattan,a tidal wave of almost 40 feet above sea level (about half the height of the Statue of Liberty) impacts the island,causing major flooding.Sam and his friends are able to seek refuge in the New York Public Library.
Survivors in the Northern United States are forced to flee south,with some Americans illegally crossing the border into Mexico.After advising the Executive Office of the President of the United States to evacuate half the country,Jack sets off for Manhattan to find his son,accompanied by Frank and Jason.Their truck crashes into a snow-covered tractor-trailer just past Philadelphia,so the group continues on snowshoes.During the journey,Frank falls through the glass roof of a snowbound shopping mall.As Jason and Jack try to pull Frank up,the glass under them continues to crack; Frank sacrifices himself by cutting the rope.The U.S.President's helicopter is fatally caught in the superstorm,leaving the U.S.Vice President in charge.
Inside the library,Sam advises everyone of his father's instruction to stay indoors.Few listen,and the small group that remains burns books to keep warm and breaks the library's vending machine for food.Laura is afflicted with blood poisoning,so Sam,Brian,and J.D.must search for penicillin in a Russian cargo ship that drifted inland,and are attacked by escaped wolves from the New York Zoo.The eye of the superstorm begins to pass over the city with its −150 掳F (−101.1 掳C) temperatures,and the entire New York City skyline begins to freeze.The three return to the library with medicine,food,and supplies,making it to safety.
During the deep freeze,Jack and Jason take shelter in an abandoned Wendy's,then resume their journey after the storm dissipates,finally arriving in New York City.They find the library buried in snow,but find Sam's group alive and are rescued by Chinook helicopters.The new President orders search and rescue teams to look for other survivors,having been given hope by the survival of Sam's group.The movie concludes with two astronauts looking down at Earth from the International Space Station,showing most of the northern hemisphere covered in ice,and a major reduction in pollution.
