Volcano

Volcano (1997) is Mick Jackson's disaster thriller you can watch online on iFILM. It starts as an ordinary Los Angeles morning. Then the ground beneath the city splits open.

Lava begins pushing up through the La Brea Tar Pits and into the streets. Mike Roark, head of the city's emergency management office, played by Tommy Lee Jones, scrambles every crew he has to hold the line. Geologist Amy Barnes (Anne Heche) read the tremors first and knows how fast this will spread, while a young deputy played by Don Cheadle works the chaos on the ground. With molten rock flooding the freeways and crawling toward downtown, evacuation turns into a race no one trained for.

Released the same year as Dante's Peak, the film rode the late-1990s wave of nature-gone-wrong blockbusters. Its set pieces stage rivers of fire against real urban backdrops, and Jones anchors it as a man used to carrying other people's lives. Stream Volcano (1997) online on iFILM in high quality.
