Short description
An earthquake shatters a peaceful Los Angeles morning and opens a fissure deep into the earth, causing lava to start bubbling up. As a volcano begins forming in the La Brea Tar Pits, the director of the city's emergency management service, working with a geologist, must then use every resource in the city to try and stop the volcano from consuming LA.
What's left behind the scenes
- Almost all of the scenes on Wilshire Boulevard were shot using sets in a large pavilion, which were an exact, slightly smaller copy of the street with houses that had no roofs, which were “completed” using computer graphics. The explosions, however, were real and were carried out using propane gas.
- Visual and computer effects were used in more than 250 scenes in the film, with a large number of companies and special effects artists working on them.
- Filming took place on the streets of Los Angeles, in the Mojave Desert, and in the California town of Torrance.
- The lava was made from methylcellulose – a special reagent used to thicken instant milk, and the volcanic ash falling from the sky – from small scraps of grey newspaper.
