Ends 06/15/13. A series of natural disasters sets the stage for a new Ice Age in this thrilling, cautionary epic. Seen from the perspective of climatologist Jack Hall (Dennis Quaid), a series of superstorms leave major cities in tatters...including New York, where Hall's son (Jake Gyllenhaal) is trapped. As temperatures plummet, Jack makes a desperate effort to save his son--and the planet.

When global warming triggers the onset of a new Ice Age, tornadoes flatten Los Angeles, a tidal wave engulfs New York City and the entire Northern Hemisphere begins to freeze solid. As full-scale, massive evacuations to the south begin, a world-renowned climatologist (Quaid) who predicted the storm just a few days prior, must now risk his life to rescue his teenage son (Gyllenhaal) who is stranded in frozen, desolate Manhattan.

A climatologist tries to alert the US government on the dangerous long term effects of global warming, not realizing that those changes are going to happen in weeks, not in years, as originally predicted.
