2004年·科幻片·后天

American climatologist Jack (Dennis Quaid) believes that the greenhouse effect is causing a catastrophe on the planet, and the melting of Arctic glaciers will bring the planet back to the catastrophes of the Ice Age. His reminder did not attract the attention of the United States authorities, and it was too late: hurricanes, hail, floods, melting icebergs, extreme cold, and a series of earth upheavals triggered an irreversible disaster. The US government organized people at 30 degrees north latitude to move around the equator, causing chaos. To make matters worse, Jack's son is trapped in a Manhattan library, burning books and making fires to maintain his body temperature. How can everyone escape this catastrophe? When will the icy earth warm up?

美國氣候學家傑克（鄧尼斯•奎德Dennis Quaid飾）認為，溫室效應正在引發地球的大災難，北極冰川的融化，會讓地球回到冰河世紀那樣的劫難。 他的提醒並沒有引起美國當局的重視，一切都已經太晚：颶風、冰雹、洪水、冰山融化、極度嚴寒，一系列的地球巨變引發了一場不可挽救的災難。 美國政府組織北緯30度的群眾轉移到赤道周圍，場面一片混亂。 更糟糕的是，傑克的兒子，正困在曼哈頓的圖書館裏，靠燒書生火來維持體溫。 大家怎樣才能逃過這場滅頂的災禍？ 冰天雪地的地球何時才能回暖？
