The Day After Tomorrow (2004)

The Day After Tomorrow is a climate disaster film directed by Roland Emmerich. The story follows climatologist Jack Hall (Dennis Quaid), who discovers that global warming has triggered a sudden and catastrophic shift in the Earth’s climate.

The film begins with a series of bizarre and extreme weather phenomena around the world, including massive hurricanes, flooding, and sudden temperature drops. Jack Hall (played by Dennis Quaid), a paleoclimatologist, discovers that these events are part of a larger, more catastrophic shift in Earth’s climate.
As the world experiences increasingly severe weather, the situation escalates to a full-blown global climate disaster. A new ice age begins, bringing with it devastating storms and plunging temperatures. The film’s narrative follows Jack’s efforts to save his son, Sam Hall (played by Jake Gyllenhaal), who is trapped in New York City as the city is engulfed by freezing temperatures and floods.
The movie portrays various characters facing the immediate effects of the crisis, including political leaders trying to manage the disaster and people struggling to survive in the freezing conditions. The climax of the film sees Jack and a small group of survivors undertaking a perilous journey through the frozen landscape to reach a rescue point.
