W Los Angeles geolodzy rejestrują przejawy wzmożonej aktywności tektonicznej. Kilku robotników kopiących tunel metra ginie w oparach siarki. Nad ranem potężna, rozżarzona do czerwoności rzeka zalewa centrum, niszcząc wszystko, co napotyka po drodze. Burmistrz powołuje sztab kryzysowy. Na jego czele staje energiczny i odważny Mike Roark. Niemal natychmiast wpada na pomysł, jak powstrzymać lawę zalewającą jedną z głównych ulic miasta, Wilshire Boulevard, co jest początkiem batalii o uratowanie Los Angeles. (Polsat)

The volcano belongs to the kind of catastrophic movies that have completely given up on any attempt to set their "drama" in even minimally credible framework. The creators assume that viewers have never seen volcanic activity and, above all, know nothing about it, or they simply don't care as long as they receive the usual dose of genre clichés and a few celebrity actors to go along with it. The direction is skillful, but what can be done, I can't stomach the crystal-clear stupidity of the screenplay. Similar cheap B-movie projects occasionally give me a second star for unintended humor, but, for God's sake, a blockbuster with a budget nearing 100 million dollars, with such a crew and cast, should look different... Overall impression 25%.

The 1990s in Hollywood was an era of, among other things, stupid disaster "blockbusters" that worked as naturally in the cinema as Marvel movies do today. Volcano in particular is one of those cute blockbusters with a narration that wouldn’t be taken seriously today, but in its time and with its financial possibilities, it's probably the most entertainingly made bunch of clichés ever. Enormous nostalgia...
