The only man who can save the planet from the seething solar plasma heading towards Earth is government outsider and renegade physicist, Michael Mitchell (Modine). As chaos reigns across the globe and government officials relinquish all hope, Michael faces the harsh reality that he only has a matter of hours to save all human life on the planet. The countdown to the end of the world begins with this never-before-seen extended version of
Cat. 8, available on Blu-ray on August 13.
