2012

Apocalyptic action sci-fi from the director of 'Independence Day' (1996) and 'The Day After Tomorrow' (2004) starring John Cusack, Thandie Newton, Danny Glover and Woody Harrelson. The ancient Mayan calendar has predicted that the world will end on 21 December 2012 and scientists have confirmed the prediction as fact, but as the fateful date looms ever closer and tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and typhoons begin to cause devastating destruction, desperate efforts are made across the world to try to prevent or prepare for the inevitable disaster. Jackson Curtis (Cusack), a divorced writer and researcher trying to survive the cataclysm with his daughter, draws on his knowledge of ancient writings to keep them and others who have managed to survive alive.
