    Volcano is a 1997 disaster film directed by Mick


    Jackson and produced by Andrew Z. Davis, Neal H.
    Moritz and Lauren Shuler Donner. The storyline was
    conceived from a screenplay written by Jerome
    Armstrong and Billy Ray. The film stars veteran
    actors Tommy Lee Jones, Anne Heche, and Don
    Cheadle. Jones is cast as the head of a crisis
    agency called the Office of Emergency Management
    (O.E.M.) which has complete authority in the event
    of an emergency or natural disaster. His character
    attempts to divert the path of a dangerous lava flow
    through the streets of Los Angeles following the
    formation of a volcano.
    A joint collective effort to commit to the film's
    production was made by the film studios of 20th
    Century Fox, Moritz Original and Shuler
    Donner/Donner Productions. It was commercially
    distributed by 20th Century Fox. Although the film
    used extensive special effects, it failed to receive
    any award nominations from mainstream motion
    picture organizations for its production merits.
    Volcano explores civil viewpoints, such as
    awareness, evacuation and crisis prevention.
    Volcano premiered in theaters nationwide in the
    United States on April 25, 1997 grossing
    $49,323,468 in domestic ticket receipts. It earned an
    additional $73,500,000 in business through
    international release to top out at a combined
    $122,823,468 in gross revenue. Taking into account
    its $90 million budget, the film was technically
    considered a moderate financial success after its
    theatrical run. It was however, met with mixed critical
    reviews before its initial screening in cinemas,
    generally due to some weak dialogue and its lack of
    scientific accuracy. Dante's Peak, another
    action/disaster film about a volcano that opened two
    months earlier, tried a hand at showing some of this
    accuracy.
