The Fountain -- Yesterday, today, tomorrow. Past, present, future. Through time and space, one man embarks on a bold 1000-year odyssey to defeat humankind's most indomitable foe: Death.

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

Three parallel stories about love, death, spirituality, and the fragility of existence are told through the odyssey taken on by one man in his thousand-year struggle to save the woman he loves.

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.
