The Day After Tomorrow
by
Roland Emmerich
Retro: Roland Emmerich
As a result of global warming, the polar ice caps are melting, and a new ice age is dawning. New Delhi sinks in snow, Tokyo is covered by giant hailstones, and New York is hit by a massive tidal wave. Climatologist Jack Hall has long warned of this disaster. Now that it is happening, he sets off from Washington DC to New York to rescue his son. A dangerous race against an overwhelming and out-of- control nature. Roland Emmerich’s spectacular warning call on climate change brings a sublime imagery to the screen.
