Volcano is an action drama of 1997. It was released in the United States on April 25, 1997 a few months after Dante's Peak
, a movie in the same genre.

Plot

Tommy Lee Jones stars as Mike Roark, a Los Angeles emergency official who takes charge when a volcano grows out of the La Brea Tar Pits. A river of lava flows down Wilshire Boulevard, through the uncompleted Metro Red Line subway tunnel, and creates a fountain of lava next to the Beverly Center shopping mall in Beverly Hills.

In spite of placing himself and his teenage daughter in danger, Mike saves the city by diverting the river of lava (with the help of demolition teams) into the concrete channel of Ballona Creek, which allows the lava to flow safely into the Pacific Ocean. Anne Heche plays a female protagonist.

The premise for the movie is loosely based on the appearance of Paricutín, a volcano which emerged from a farmer's field in Mexico. The depiction of the behavior of volcanos and lava in the rest of the movie, however, is for entertainment rather than scientific accuracy.

Tagline: The coast is toast.
