The Day After Tomorrow (2004) is a climate disaster film directed by Roland Emmerich. The movie stars Dennis Quaid, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Emmy Rossum. The plot revolves around catastrophic climate events caused by global warming, which lead to a sudden and extreme shift in the Earth’s climate. In the movie, paleoclimatologist Jack Hall (Quaid) predicts an imminent global disaster, but his warnings are dismissed until massive storms and natural disasters begin to devastate the planet.

The film follows Jack’s quest to rescue his son, Sam (Gyllenhaal), who is trapped in New York City as it succumbs to freezing temperatures and severe storms. Meanwhile, much of the Northern Hemisphere faces catastrophic climate changes, including superstorms that trigger a new Ice Age.

The Day After Tomorrow is known for its intense visual effects depicting large-scale natural disasters such as tsunamis, hurricanes, and massive ice storms. The film touches on environmental themes, warning of the potential consequences of unchecked climate change, though it has been criticized for scientific inaccuracies.
