The Day After Tomorrow proves to be a dramatic natural disaster adventure that explores science fiction concepts to create a tale that feels both realistic and fantastical. The movie revolves around a catastrophic storm that develops and strikes the entire world, resulting in natural disasters occurring throughout the world. Although climatologist Jack Hall does his best to inform the United Nations about the environmental issues facing the planet and how this could result in some seriously severe events, he is largely ignored, and this proves to be a mistake for the entire world. His research proves to be accurate, and a storm, which happens to be so large that it's deemed super, develops and begins to affect Earth as a whole. However, things become very gleam and unfortunate for Jack Hall in particular, because his son, Sam Hall, is trapped in New York, due to how he's there with other members of a club that he participates in through his high school. As the New York area experiences a major ice storm that practically makes it feel like they're living through an ice age, Sam Hall must struggle to survive with his friends, including a girl named Laura that he has feelings for. As Sam is pushed to his very limit and forced to put all his skills to the test, his father must attempt to save his son in New York by trekking through the harsh elements all the way from Philadelphia by foot, but Jack Hall might end up arriving there too late.
