Začalo to jedným malým zemetrasením. Kto by to bol povedal, že mestu ako Los Angeles raz bude hroziť obrovské nebezpečenstvo. Varovanie seizmológov nebolo brané príliš vážne, ale potom, ako teplota jazera stúpne v priebehu dvanástich hodín o šesť stupňov, je nad slnko jasnejšie, že nebezpečenstvo je reálne. Nikto nepredpokladal, že pod mestom sa zrodí nový vulkán. Teraz, keď sa do ulíc valí láva, je už neskoro. Je však nutné pokúsiť sa zachrániť aspoň to, čo sa zachrániť dá. Plány sú jedna vec, realita druhá vec. Nikto mu neverí, ale on nepochybuje, že dokáže spasiť toto mesto...

Skúseného vedca a vulkanológa Harryho Daltona vyšlú, aby preskúmal nezvyčajnú aktivitu sopky. Rozhodol sa pre spoluprácu s očarujúcou Rachel Wandoovou. Je mu jasné, že so sopkou nie je čosi v poriadku a snaží sa presvedčiť svojho šéfa, aby odsúhlasil evakuáciu Dantes Peak. Ale proti ľudskému životu stoja aj ekonomické záujmy. Prístroje nezaznamenávajú nič mimoriadne a nikto nechce riskovať veľké finančné straty. Bezmocnému Harrymu uverí len starostka mesta, ale napriek tomu nestihne podniknúť nevyhnutné kroky, potrebné pre záchranu ohrozeného obyvateľstva. Zemetrasenie spôsobí náhlu erupciu, sprevádzanú prúdmi nebezpečnej horúcej lávy a množstvom horúceho popolu. Obyvatelia Dantes Peak sa nachádzajú v smrteľnom nebezpečenstve. Harrymu a Rachel sa celkom náhodou podarí ukryť v podzemí. Príde však záchrana včas? Vyslobodí ich zo starého dolu, ktorý je teraz zatavený do lávového obalu skôr, ako sa im minú zásoby jedla a vzduchu?

Herzog and cinematographer Peter Zeitlinger go to Antarctica to meet people who live and work there, and to capture footage of the continent's unique locations. Herzog's voiceover narration explains that his film will not be a typical Antarctica film about "fluffy penguins", but will explore the dreams of the people and the landscape.

Katia a Maurice Krafftoví mali v živote dve vášne – seba navzájom a sopky. On priamočiary a odvážny, ona pokojná a opatrná, no vždy spolu. Počas celých dvoch dekád sa títo vulkanológovia nechali zvádzať krásou a nebezpečenstvom bublajúcich obrov a pri svojej ceste za poznaním zachránili desiatky tisíc životov. Ich neuveriteľný príbeh a autentické zábery sopiek nasnímané z dychberúcej blízkosti na 16 mm film ožili v kreatívnom spracovaní režisérky Sary Dosy. Hit zo Sundance, pripomínajúci estetiku Wesa Andersona, hovorí nielen o vybuchujúcich sopkách, ale aj o dynamike unikátneho vzťahu dvoch svojráznych vedcov.

The story means to develop through an uncovering of layers - strata. As writer Krumbachova stated: "With nature as a prison, an impassable barrier ... where every action is physically and psychically limited by the environment ... people are reduced to fragments of basic instinct and intelligence." Promoted as a psychological thriller, Strata provides little tension nor any real climax. The characters are ideas - not believably real.

The epic story of the life of a volcano, capable of both causing the extinction of all things and helping the evolution of species, over 60 million years.

Documentary on the famous French/Belgian pioneer volcanologist.
