Plot – Every day Los Angeles lives difficult fights, not only against crime and pollution but also against any possible natural disaster: earthquakes, fires, landslides catastrophes that often tragically mark the city's fate. One morning Mike Roark, the civil protection's responsible, realizes that in one of the most scenic locations, between Beverly Hills and Beverly Center, the road surface's temperature is rising to unnatural levels due to a particularly hot day. Mike with the help of Dr. Amy Barnes is able to ensure that under the underlying crust there's a crack. The danger is great but it's too late now and gradually the ground starts splitting: hot lava exits until the whole city is covered by a real eruption. Mike and Amy, with the help of some technicians and the police, try to organize the defense but soon there's panic all around. Kelly, Mike's fourteen-year-old daughter, is also involved in the disaster, but she's separated from her family. Fears and sorrows are great until Mike realizes the only solution available is to blow up the mall: the collapse of the large building could block the flow of lava.
