Description: San Andreas is a 2015 American disaster film directed by Brad Peyton and written by Carlton Cuse, with story credits to Andre Fabrizio and Jeremy Passmore. The movie features Dwayne Johnson, Carla Gugino, Alexandra Daddario, Ioan Gruffudd, Archie Panjabi, and Paul Giamatti in prominent roles. The storyline revolves around a catastrophic earthquake triggered by the San Andreas Fault, which wreaks havoc along the West Coast of the United States. Filming began on April 22, 2014, in Queensland, Australia, and concluded on July 28 in San Francisco. The film premiered globally on May 29, 2015, and received a mixed response from critics. While the visual effects and performances by Johnson and Gugino were praised, the plot and character development faced criticism. San Andreas grossed $474 million worldwide.
The plot follows Caltech seismologist Dr. Lawrence Hayes and his colleague Dr. Kim Park, who are testing a new earthquake prediction model at Hoover Dam. An unexpected earthquake caused by a previously unknown fault destroys the dam, leading to Park sacrificing himself to save a young girl. Hayes soon discovers that the San Andreas Fault is shifting and will cause a series of massive earthquakes, threatening cities along the fault line. He rushes to warn the population alongside his students Alexi and Phoebe and reporter Serena Johnson.
Meanwhile, a 9.1 magnitude earthquake devastates Los Angeles and San Francisco. Ray Gaines, a Los Angeles Fire Department helicopter-rescue pilot, rescues his estranged wife Emma from a collapsing skyscraper in Los Angeles. Their daughter Blake, who was visiting San Francisco with Emma’s new boyfriend Daniel, becomes trapped in Daniel’s car after an earthquake strikes. Daniel abandons her in fear, but Blake is rescued by Ben Taylor, a British engineer, and his younger brother Ollie. They manage to contact Blake’s parents for help.
Ray and Emma attempt to reach San Francisco in a helicopter, but a gearbox failure forces an emergency landing in Bakersfield. Amid the chaos, Ray steals a truck to continue their journey.
The film combines intense disaster sequences with a story of survival and family resilience. Despite its commercial success, San Andreas remains a polarizing entry in the disaster film genre.
