Something unspeakably chilling is ultimately starting to heat up at The City of Los Angeles! Beneath the famed La Brea Tar Pits, a raging volcano has formed, raining a storm of deadly fire bombs and an endless tide of white-hot lava upon the stunned city!
After a seemingly minor earthquake one night in Los Angeles, a giant burst of lava is released from the La Brea Tar Pits, resulting in the birth of a new volcano under the city. City officials are reluctant to believe scientists who notice the early warning signs (the temperature of a lake rises 6 degrees in 12 hours) but they learn their lesson when lava begins to spill out into the streets and to destroy buildings and cars. Dedicated Emergency Management director Mike Roark rushes to the rescue, with help from a plucky seismologist.
Hollywood was an odd place in late 1990s. I was a cinemagoer back then and we went through a time where every year there were two rival movies on the same subject coming out at the same time. One year we had ARMAGEDDON and DEEP IMPACT; in 1997 we had this and DANTE'S PEAK. While I much preferred the Pierce Brosnan movie (and have gone so far as to purchase it on Blu-ray for continued enjoyment), I think VOLCANO is a fun production. It has a good plot that harks back to the old Hollywood disaster hits like EARTHQUAKE and a very fast-paced story that gets straight to the crux of the matter without much hanging around. The worst thing about it is the terrible direction, which is cheesy beyond belief. It starts off restrained and ends with slow-motion running, bad CGI backdrops, and some hugely embarrassing zooming-in on people's faces that has to be seen to believed. You'd think you were watching a spoof. Tommy Lee Jones acquits himself well as the hero of the hour, enjoying the peak of his popularity in the years following on from THE FUGITIVE. He's well supported by solid character actors including Keith David and John Carroll Lynch who can be relied upon to do their very best. The one missstep is the casting of the terrible Anne Heche as the female lead; she's totally unconvincing as the geologist and another embarrassment at times. The special effects haven't held up as well as those in DANTE'S PEAK, but the lava lake still looks good today and there are some fairly exciting set-pieces along the way. As cheesy as this is, I'd still take it over any of the modern-day B-movie disaster films made by the SyFy Channel and The Asylum.
1997 was apparently the "year of the volcano" with this film and the regrettable Dante's Peak being released within weeks of each other. Neither is particularly good, but Volcano is at least entertaining, if not believable. The plot line - and it's pretty thin - is that a series of earthquakes opens up a fissure under the LaBrea Tar Pits, and before you can say "volcanoes don't happen in California" you have lava spewing everywhere. Of course, before the lava actually starts flowing, you have several suspicious deaths in the service tunnels of the LA subway system, and are introduced to overzealous OEM manager, Mike Roarke (Tommy Lee Jones), stubborn transportation director, Stan Olber (John Carroll Lynch), and geologist, Amy Barnes (Anne Heche), who thinks vulcanism may be afoot. Once the volcano erupts, Roarke's daughter Kelly (Gabby Hoffman) is burned by a lava bomb, and he entrusts her to dedicated doctor, Jaye Calder (Jacqueline Kim), whose husband, Norman (John Corbett), thinks she should stay out of harm's way and let the wounded fend for themselves. Roarke teams up with Amy Barnes to try to save LA before the lava burns it to the ground. And the race is on... Like Dante's Peak, there is quite a bit of bad science here. To start with there is no source of magma underneath LA, so there's little chance of this actually occurring. There's little likelihood of being able to withstand the temperatures in a subway car sitting on top of lava - the metal would conduct the heat, and the temperatures would quickly cause loss of consciousness and death. And perhaps the most egregious, if you land in lava, you won't melt. You'll char, but you won't met, so Stan Olber would have been badly burned, but he would have survived. They patterned damming the lava after Iceland, but there they had an almost inexhaustible supply of water from the sea. LA has nothing near that kind of water supply. Also, just because they blocked the flow on Wilshire, doesn't mean that it stopped on Stanley Avenue - something the writers seem to have forgotten about. Also, there's quite a bit that isn't scientific which is outside the realm of possibility. Does anyone believe that you can plan and execute a precision demolition of a building in 20 minutes? And while Gator's (Michael Rispoli) refusal to leave a downed colleague is noble, one assumes self preservation would eventually win out, especially when the injured man tells him to save himself. Still, in spite of the implausibility, you can't help enjoying the film. It's well paced, moving along at an exciting clip, and injecting humor at the odd spot that catches you off guard. You realize it's far fetched but you enjoy it anyway. The acting is surprisingly good. Jones and Heche work very well with what they're given, as does Don Cheadle as Roarke's assistant, Emmitt. John Carroll Lynch gives an excellent performance as an arrogant know-it-all, who pays mightily for his attitude, but still shows nobility in the end. Gabby Hoffman does well as a spoiled girl who grows up fast under pressure. But perhaps the best characterization is the lava itself, which almost seems alive with menace. No, it's not an accurate - or even a good - film. But it is a heck of a lot of fun, and that almost makes up for it.
But a great sense of pace is a wonderful thing, and director Jackson and his crew (who made good use of hand-held and Steadicam shots and reportedly averaged an impressive 30 to 40 camera setups a day) move so quickly from shot to shot and location to location that viewers have a limited time to dwell on the film's predictable implausibilities.
