El dia de mañana [DVD]

Original title The Day After Tomorrow Year 2004 Duration 117 min. Synopsis Climatologist Jack Hall's research indicates that global warming could trigger a sudden and catastrophic change in the Earth's climate. Drilling in Antarctica shows that it is something that has already happened ten thousand years ago. Hall warns political leaders of the need to immediately adopt measures to prevent this; but his warnings come too late. Hall witnesses a block of ice the size of Rhode Island completely break away from Antarctica. Then, a series of anomalous weather phenomena begin to occur in different parts of the globe: hail balls the size of a grapefruit destroy Tokyo, hurricane-force winds devastate Hawaii, it snows in New Delhi, and a series of tornadoes devastate Los Angeles. A Scottish colleague of his confirms Jack's worst fears. As the polar ice cap melts, the oceans have received too much water, which affects marine currents, which are responsible for climate stability. Global warming has put the planet on the brink of a new ice age. And everything will happen during a global storm. While Jack warns the White House of impending climate change, his son Sam and his friends are trapped in New York, where they have gone to participate in an inter-high school academic competition.
