Loved this one too I'm a big movie person Synopsis: The Earth’s rotating core has stalled. As a result, electromagnetic fields are thrown out of whack, violent storms are tearing through Rome, and intense microwaves threaten to cook the planet and everyone on it. The earth will be a wasteland in less than a year unless the world’s scientists and the U.S. military can come up with a way to burrow to the center of the globe and unleash bombs that will act as a nuclear defibrillator, jumpstarting The Core. The ship’s diverse crew includes scruffy geophysics professor Josh Keyes, a humble hunk with a good heart. He is reunited with Sergei Leveque, an old friend and colleague specializing in weaponry. They are joined by a brilliant, if pompous self-promoter named Dr. Conrad Zimsky, as well as the ship’s designer, Dr. Brazleton, who happens to be an unheralded genius Zimsky took advantage of years earlier. At the controls are NASA astronauts Col. Robert Iverson and Maj. Rebecca Childs. Back on the surface, a nerdy computer hacker known as Rat controls the flow of information and works miracles from his keyboard (requiring only an unlimited supply of Xena: Warrior Princess videotapes and microwavable Hot Pockets). No sooner does the away team plunge beneath the earth’s crust than things start to go wrong. They must overcome one crisis after another. In doing so, casualties mount. But everyone on board realizes that failure is not an option, and that the suffering taking place in their midst and on the earth’s surface is nothing compared to the wide-scale loss of life sure to occur if they don’t successfully complete their mission.
