Geostorm



The weather: unpredictable, ever-changing and sometimes deadly.  The Earth has seen its fair share of disastrous weather in the last 20 plus years.  
 
There are varying opinions why: natural climate changes, man-made climate changes, shifts in the Earth’s magnetic poles and an increase of Sun flares-the list is long and no one is quite sure what is happening.

What if mankind learned to harness the weather and control it.? Imagine being able to stop hurricanes, encourage rainfall, curb cold or hot climates and the like.

Just think of the possibilities: world-wide hunger would be wiped out, airborne and land-bound pollution could be monitored and controlled and the standard of living would increase dramatically for people from all over the world.

Warner Bros.' Geostorm Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Combo Pack imagines a world where leaders around the globe pool their resources and create an intricate network of satellites to monitor and control the climate.

But, something goes wrong.  Suddenly the system meant to benefit mankind becomes its worst enemy.

The system spirals out of control and as a result the weather intensifies to a point where mankind itself it threatened to be wiped off the face of the Earth.

Is it a glitch in the system or something more sinister?

Geostrom follows the attempt by a stalwart group of scientists, astronauts and government officials to stop the threat and save mankind.

Geostorm is eye-popping cornucopia of visual effects, spectacular stunts and amazing action.

Extras include featurettes about making the film and more.
