When Worlds Collide

Beschreibung

A runaway planet hurtles toward the earth. As it draws near, tidal waves, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions wrack our planet, devastating continents and wiping out millions. A team of scientists race to build a spacecraft to escape the doomed earth. Their greatest threat, they discover, comes not from the skies but from other humans.
