This volcano-disaster film features Pierce Brosnan as the scientist, Harry Dalton, who finds evidence that the mountaintop is about to blow. He tries to warn neighboring citizens to get off Dante's Peak because their lives are threatened, and–of course–few will heed his advice. Linda Hamilton plays the town's mayor, Rachel Wando, and also, of course, becomes the romantic interest of Harry. Great special effects!

Gail (Meryl Streep) and Tom (David Strathairn) try to solve their marital problems by taking son Roarke (Joseph Mazzello) on a rafting trip in Montana.

Predictable clone of "Deliverance" with good photography.
