Deep Core

When a deadly tsunami completely destroys a tropical island and all its inhabitants and at the same time an entire town in Northern Siberia is swallowed by a giant sinkhole, scientists are at a loss to explain the deadly events. Only one man, scientist Brian Gordon (Craig Sheffer) is able to comprehend the frightening situation - a disruption within the Earth's mantle is causing a chain reaction of such massive proportions that it threatens to tear apart the entire planet. Now, it is up to Gordon and his experienced team to tunnel 120 miles into the earth's surface and trigger a controlled nuclear explosion to off set the pressure. As cities crumble and lives are destroyed, the team must battle to curtail the geological nightmare, before it annihilates all of mankind. (Verleiher-Text)
