WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In the near future, satellites designed to control the climate of Earth suddenly malfunction and release small pods all across the world, each one of them coming with their own natural disaster. Jake Lawson (Butler) leads a group of astronauts up to space to prevent any more of the satellites from causing destruction, but soon discovers that they were intentionally sabotaged – and the only one with the kill codes for the satellites is President Andrew Palma (García)…

Roland Emmerich’s long-time producing buddy Dean Devlin tries his hand at disaster movie-making, and may have just created the most bonkers and silliest film of its kind you’ll see all year.
