Y ou need not wait long for a big dose of excitement in this film!

“Dante’s Peak” opens with Dr. Harry Dalton ( Pierce Brosnan ) and his fiancee, Marian, caught in a violent volcanic eruption in Columbia. You watch in horror as they try to escape. Huge chunks of flaming lava explode around them like rockets. Panic stricken, they drive through ash and mud rain. You get a feeling they might just make it when, suddenly, a projectile of burning lava crashes through the roof of their truck and strikes Marian on the head, killing her.

Four years later Dr. Dalton gets a call from his boss, Dr. Paul Dreyfus, alerting him to some seismic activity in America at Dante’s Peak. Dalton is to monitor the situation there.

Harry arrives in town during a Pioneer Days celebration as Mayor Rachel Wondo (Linda Hamilton) is accepting an award naming Dante’s Peak the 2nd most desirable place to live in the USA. Rachel takes Harry up the mountain to do some testing. Her children, Graham and Lauren, and her mother, Grandma Ruth, come along—eager to swim in the hot springs.

The kids soon find dead, maggot infested squirrels on the trail. Harry notices several dead trees in the area also, alerting him to the possibility of deadly gasses coming up from the ground and killing vegetation and small animals. He conducts more tests in the lake and finds unusually high pH levels. The kids and grandma head over to the hot springs for a dip. Harry grabs Graham and stops him just before he jumps in. As the hot steam clears we see two nude, adult bodies floating face down. They are young lovers who, only hours before, had taken a dip and died when the volcano belched hot gasses and lava into the springs.

Harry instructs the Mayor to call an immediate meeting of the city council to put the town on alert. When Harry’s co-workers from the US Geological Survey arrive, his boss interrupts the council meeting and tries to put the town leaders at ease. Boss-man Dryfeus says that only scientific evidence, not Harry’s opinion, will be the factor to put the town on emergency alert. The boss' team of geologic experts monitor the area for a week and conclude that this is a quiet volcano.

…That evening Dr. Dalton bursts in on his sleeping boss to show him the city tap water, full of sulfur, a sure sign the volcano is very active.

Panic. A town meeting is hastily called the next day, during which quakes start “swarming” (coming closer and closer together and increasing in intensity) and Sulfur Dioxide emissions rise as the volcano spews ash.

The town becomes the scene of a chaotic mass evacuation. The quakes intensify, causing freeways to collapse and sending cars bouncing. Buildings implode, electric poles snap, gasoline tanks blow up. Harry goes with Rachel to get her children, but discovers that Graham has taken the car to go get Grandma Ruth. Rachel and Harry start up the side of the volcano to rescue everyone, and the road behind them is destroyed in landslides.

As they desperately speed to Grandma Ruth’s cabin, their only escape from flowing lava is across the lake, via boat. All the fish are dead, and Harry realizes the lake has turned so acidic it is eating the boat’s hull away. The propeller dissolves and the boat is sinking. Suddenly, stubborn old grandma jumps in the lake and pulls them to safety. The heroine dies a short time later from horrible burns and shock.

After taking a truck from a forest ranger’s station, they flee down the rugged mountain terrain.

Meanwhile, back in town, everyone left alive is trying to escape. But the only way out is across the bridge, and it is swept away. Harry is forced to drive over partially cooled lava (still hot underneath) to get to the town. He arrives on wheel rims, the tires burned off.

The volcano gives one last, huge blast sending a deadly pyroclastic cloud (super heated, violent poison gas) raging down the mountain. Harry drives into an old mine shaft to escape the deadly blast. Sealed within the cave, the group must face their final drama…

Content of Concern

“Dante’s Peak” is intense, and not recommended for children. My teenager left the theater with shaking knees and fear knowing we live only a few hours from volcanoes. This film has a very realistic feel. That’s what makes it so good, and keeps you on the edge of your seat. There are two scenes of nudity; the young lovers at the springs. Badly burned bodies are shown; the lovers and Grandma Ruth. There are numerous swear words (including God’s name taken in vain several times), bar scenes, and wagering at a pool table. Sex is discussed, but never depicted because the volcano keeps interrupting them! One graphic scene shows a compound fracture to Harry’s arm, bones sticking out. Dr. Dreyfus is killed after being swept off the bridge.

Want to Know More About Volcanoes? If you want to know more about volcanic activity and how geologic structures are formed quickly during an eruption, I recommend the video “Mount St. Helens.” This compelling documentary shows how one of the most amazing geologic events of the 20th century—the eruption of Mount St. Helens—provides incredible scientific evidence for the world-wide flood of Noah’s day !

Movie Reviews

Tv/streaming, collections, chaz's journal, great movies, contributors, dante's peak.

Now streaming on:

"Dante's Peak'' is constructed about as skillfully as a disaster movie can be, and there were times when I found it working for me, sort of. But hasn't this genre pretty much been played out to the point of exhaustion? Once you know the premise (volcano, tornado, killer bees) you can guess the story line. Starting in this case with a volcano, we know there will be: --Ominous portents of doom on a seemingly ordinary day, such as people being boiled alive in a hot springs, too many dead trees in the middle of summer and alarming seismic activity.

--Everyday folks going about their business, in this case the Dante's Peak Pioneer Day Festival, at which the mayor ( Linda Hamilton ) accepts the town's Money magazine award as the "second-best place to live in America.'' --Arrival of scientists, including (a) hero scientist, played here by Pierce Brosnan , and (b) pooh-pooh scientist, played by Charles Hallahan , whose job is to dismiss the hero scientist's concerns and tell everyone there is no need for alarm.

--Inevitable subplot involving big corporation that plans to sink millions into the area, but may take its investment elsewhere if it hears rumors that Dante's Peak is about to blow.

--Establishment of friendship, leading to love affair, between hero scientist and town mayor, who comes equipped with a full kit of disaster movie accessories, including children, dog and gray-haired mother-in-law who refuses to come down from her cabin on the mountainside.

--Mounting alarm, as hero scientist finds dead trees, dead squirrels, brown drinking water and other early warnings of volcanic doom.

--Town meeting, called to prepare for evacuation, but interrupted, of course, by a volcanic eruption.

--Elaborate special-effects sequences as citizens flee the town, while the mountain roars, ash falls from sky, melting snow causes rivers to rage out of control, a dam bursts, bridges collapse, shock waves flatten forests, etc.

--Gripping human drama involving hero scientist, town mayor, children, dog and granny, and including flight by four-wheel vehicle, two-wheel vehicle, boat and foot. Ingenious last-minute scheme to outwit volcanic destruction. (Query: Can a utility vehicle actually ford a river with its engine completely underwater?) --And finally the distribution of poetic justice.

--A new dawn. Music swells.

Oh, and of course the Obligatory Unrelated Opening Crisis, which is defined by Ebert's Little Movie Glossary: "In an action movie, the spectacular title sequence that never has anything to do with the rest of the story.'' It involves a close call the hero had four years earlier on the site of another volcano, and the emotional trauma he suffered there, which can only be repaired this time around.

"Dante's Peak,'' written by Leslie Bohem and directed by Roger Donaldson , follows the disaster formula so faithfully that if you walk in while the movie is in progress, you can estimate how long the story has to run. That it is skillful is a tribute to the filmmakers. Roger Donaldson ("Species") is a good director who pays attention to the human elements even in a fiction machine like "Dante's Peak,'' and Gale Anne Hurd , the producer, is a specialist in action films (" Aliens ," " Alien Nation ," "The Abyss," "Tremors," " Terminator 2: Judgment Day "). They orchestrate the special effects so that they look and feel real (mostly), and in Brosnan and Hamilton they have actors who play for realism and don't go over the top--never screaming, not even when molten lava sets their truck tires on fire. The soundtrack is especially effective.

Is it a case, for me, of simply being overfamiliar, right down to my bones, with the ways in which "Dante's Peak'' is simply an old movie in new clothing? For a film like this to work, one must be caught up in it. But every time another familiar story element was trotted out (the gun-shy investors, the pooh-pooher, the dog), I was bungeed back to reality.

In one detail I was not disappointed. Recently in my "Movie Answer Man'' column there has been a discussion of whether a man can outrun an explosive fireball. The conclusion was that it cannot be done in life, but can be done in the movies. A correspondent wrote me with news of a Jaguar that outran a shock wave from Mt. St. Helens, while a hapless utility vehicle was fried. This led to much discussion (how far away were the two vehicles? etc.).

In "Dante's Peak,'' Pierce Brosnan ominously informs Linda Hamilton, "If the mountain blows, the blast would get here in less than a minute.'' The mountain blows. We see the shock wave flatten zillions of pine trees, demolish homes and office buildings, etc. Then we see it rolling down the main street of the town, with the heroes trying to outrace it in a truck. I estimate the mountain to be 10 miles from the town. If the blast can travel one mile in six seconds, which would be extremely conservative, then it can travel one village block in . . . but never mind. I'd rather think back on the more convincing moments in the movie, as when a volcanologist looks at his computer readout of the mountain's ominous portents and says, "She's just clearing her throat. She hasn't even begun to sing.''

Dante’s Peak (1997)

(Second Viewing, On DVD, September 2016) I remember seeing Dante’s Peak in theatres and being quite a bit impressed at the special effects, town destruction and convincing re-creation of a major volcanic eruption. (I also had a bit of a crush on Linda Hamilton, so that helped.) Nearly twenty years later, given the constant evolution of CGI, would the film hold up? As it turns out, the special effects mostly do … but the overall pacing doesn’t hold up as well. Faithfully following the disaster-movie template, Dante’s Peak does struggle to find something to do in-between its spectacular (if depressing) opening sequence and the final all-out volcanic destruction of a small northwestern town. Pierce Brosnan is cool and capable as the volcanologist crying wolf, while Hamilton is credible as the small-town mayor listening to him, but the script doesn’t quite know how to create attachment to the smaller characters or keep up the tension beyond small-town drama mechanics first well-worn in Jaws . Once the volcano erupts, though, things improve sharply. The practical effects used to simulate the destruction of the town still look relatively good (even though we’ve grown accustomed to the all-out chaos made possible with CGI) and the sweeping shots of a town being buried under ash do carry a certain majesty. Director Roger Donaldson is most in his element when showcasing natural mayhem, and sequences such as the bridge passage are as good as Dante’s Peak ever gets. The ending is a bit more intense and claustrophobic than I remembered (thankfully quickly moving on to the coda) and if the film doesn’t quite hold up as a complete success, it’s still good enough to make audiences happy, especially if they can muster a bit of nostalgia for mid-nineties catastrophe films.

Dante’s Peak

The effects go boom but the human story is a bust in "Dante's Peak." A midlevel entry in the current retro disaster cycle, physically impressive production contains elements familiar from "Twister," but unfortunately more closely resembles the same screenwriter's "Daylight" in its sense of dramatic conviction.

The effects go boom but the human story is a bust in “Dante’s Peak.” A midlevel entry in the current retro disaster cycle, physically impressive production contains elements familiar from “Twister,” but unfortunately more closely resembles the same screenwriter’s “Daylight” in its sense of dramatic conviction. This first lava flow of 1997 gives the thrill-seeking audience enough literal bang for its buck to record some initial high-decibel grosses, but mild word of mouth and unlikely repeat viewing will keep final tally perhaps lower than hoped. International outlook is strong.

Kicking off, very much a la “Twister,” with the obligatory action teaser that provides the Big Psychological Insight into the leading character, pic spends its first five minutes in Colombia, where volcanologist Harry Dalton (Pierce Brosnan) and his lady, along with myriad villagers, are desperately attempting to escape a holocaust of falling ash and fiery rock.

Harry makes it but his companion doesn’t, which helps explain why this dashingly handsome fellow is unattached when he is dispatched, four years later, to the pristine Pacific Northwest community of Dante’s Peak and meets its comely mayor, Rachel Wando ( Linda Hamilton ). As Harry explains it, his personal life has always had to take a back seat to being called “wherever there’s a volcano with an attitude.” Abandoned by her husband six years before, Rachel has a young boy and girl, runs a rustic cafe nearby and presides over a town recently named the second most desirable place in the country, population 20,000 or under, in which to live.

The U.S. Geological Survey has sent Harry in to check out some vague activity in the dormant volcano that towers above the friendly community. Trouble starts brewing in the form of two skinny-dippers who are boiled alive in a local hot spring and animals and vegetation that are killed by leaking gasses, but when Harry calls a meeting to warn of impending danger, his boss Paul (Charles Hallahan) steps in to reprimand him and minimize local leaders’ concern.

This break in the action gives Harry and Rachel some time to begin getting intimate, but Mother Nature rudely intervenes just as they are getting cozy: At exactly the one-hour point, the old cone, which hasn’t exploded in 7,000 years, blows its top, leveling most of the town’s charming old buildings and sending a rain of ash down upon the crazed hordes attempting to escape in their vehicles. It’s Pompeii all over again, except the victims are cappuccino-chugging tree-huggers rather than wine-slurping debauchers.

The visual effects — of the mountain erupting, ash pelting the Earth like a snowstorm, a block of storefronts shattering into the street, lava streaming down, a dam bursting, a bridge being swept away and the entire town being rendered a fossilized ruin overnight — are an eyeful; the devastation is palpable and realistic, a quantum improvement over such 1960s volcanic convulsions as “Krakatoa, East of Java” and “The Devil at 4 O’Clock.”

Physicality of the second half, then, will keep the audience going, but it is not quite sufficient to camouflage the elemental silliness of storyline. In the hopes that they have generated enough rooting interest in the leads, director Roger Donaldson and scripter Leslie Bohem send them on a wild goose chase up the mountain looking for Rachel’s kids, who have ill-advisedly gone to drag their stubborn old grandma out of the cabin she refuses to leave, come hell or high lava. The grandmother has been so one-dimensionally drawn as a total idiot, however, that it’s hard to countenance the risk of anyone’s life to save her.

Harry, Rachel and the kids narrowly escape any number of further dangers during “God’s big show” before a final molten belch sends them scurrying into an old tunnel or mine shaft for safety, which brings to mind the dismal setting of Bohem’s last screenplay, for “Daylight.” Events from there prove relatively anticlimactic, and filmmakers wisely wrap things up well under the two-hour mark.

The dramatis personae are as inoffensive as they are bland. Brosnan comes off as a low-key gentleman with significantly less heroic energy than he displayed as James Bond, while Hamilton is a serviceable good match for him; still, neither character possesses behavioral quirks or psychological layers to provoke sustained interest. The group of young scientists that supported the leads in “Twister” was loudly obnoxious, but the similar bunch here is entirely undifferentiated and boring. As their leader, however, Hallahan does supply a measure of credibility and humanity.

During the hourlong prelude to the fireworks, director Donaldson supplies some ornate crane and camera moves to gawk at; after that, the effects and stunts take over. His work overall is craftsmanlike, but, in the end, he doesn’t seem to possess the shameless showman instincts that might have made “Dante’s Peak” a more rousing experience.

Technical aspects are all ultra-pro, except for the end credits, in which the star’s name is misspelled in a mention of “Mr. Bronson’s Driver.” Must have been thinking of a different actor in a different era.

Review by Michael Quinn ★★ 2

Grandma Ruth would definitely refuse to wear a mask in 2020.

Review by SilentDawn ★★★½ 12

Disaster movies with a relative lack of CGI are the best. When the volcano goes boom boom in Dante's Peak , it's a feast of miniatures and other analog trickery. It's quite a spectacle. The bellowing clouds of ash in particular. It takes a decent length of time to get there, but the characters are serviceable in the meantime, and the tone is relatively serious, which is a plus. Basically Jaws but with a volcano. Good stuff.

Review by matt lynch ★★★½

This might be the relative best of the late 90's disaster wave (pun intended). Brosnan and Hamilton have enough genuine chemistry, and the supporting cast is unassuming enough to keep all the buildup to the big finale from getting too dull. Once this thing does finally kick over, though, you're treated to some of the finest late-analog tentpole VFX the genre had to offer. Some of these miniatures are pretty seamless (especially if you, like me, prefer a few seams). Also, this absolutely has the period's best lucky dog scene.

Review by FilmApe ★½ 8

This film got two stars, one for each of the stupid grandmas burned legs. I remembered the acid lake scene being awesome, but it definitely is not.

I took away half a star because this film uses the Wilhelm scream in one of the worst possible ways. One of the main characters gets trapped on a bridge, and as he is being flung to his death, he lets out the famous scream. The Wilhelm scream should be reserved for background characters, and should never be used for a main characters death scene.

my only concern was if the dog would make it though the eruption alive or not

Review by Rafael "Parker!!" Jovine ★★★ 17

If you know anything about crazy behind the scenes stories on Hollywood, there’s a big chance this movie has been in your radar. If you don't know, this was one of those films that fought and won at the box office against a film that shared much of the same premise, in this case, Tommy Lee Jones' "Volcano," which, no, I haven't seen.

A very low rating and snarky little daughter told me I was in for not the best of movies and something from the late 90s. As it tends to happen with every disaster film (“Independence Day” notwithstanding), they are only made with the intention of seeing things go kaboom and plenty of lives being lost. The "End…

Review by Justin Peterson ★★★ 2

Just the right blend of chaos and wild dumb moments, to help make this overly ambitious disaster movie erupt!

"Isn't this beautiful, nestled all nice and cozy right up against the mountain? ... Yeah, just like Pompeii."

I guess it is fair to say this is our fictionalized version of a Mount Saint Helens movie. Needless to say, seeing a town full of people having to frantically scramble to get away from a volcano should have its serious moments. But it was nice to see Dante’s Peak also embrace its hilarious parts as well.

Review by Ian Curran ★★★ 4

The scenes of the pyroclastic cloud destroying the miniature town is pure 90’s nightmare fuel.

Review by Bryan Espitia ★★★½ 3

They’re not making ’em like this anymore. Glorious 90s analog spectacle, feels like a theme park ride. Has one of the absolute funniest uses of the Wilhelm Scream.

Review by Justin Decloux ★★★½

I remember the experience of watching this vividly, but beyond a lot of ash, a granny dying from an acid bath, and a nasty bone break, most of the movie was a black void in my mind.

On a re-watch on shimmering 35mm, this revealed itself to be god-level 90s journeyman filmmaking: Roger Donaldson (WHITE SANDS) directing, Geoff Murphy (FREEJACK) on the second unit, and Andrzej Bartkowiak (SPEED) shoots it with steady-cam moves and dutch angles aplenty. Pierce Brosnan hams it up, Linda Hamilton is present, and every other role is by a great character actor (Hey! Look, Peter Jason is standing in the background!). Plus, a shit ton of beautiful exploding miniatures.

They don't make 'em like this anymore.

I’m originally from Portland, Oregon; it was possible to go to the end of the street I grew up on and look one way to see Mt St Helens, then and see Mt Hood. Neither were particularly far away. This movie came out when I was 11, and they touted the “scientific accuracy” of the film in all the ads. Scared the bejeezes out of me. Volcano was too ridiculous to be scary and thus a lot more fun though.

Movie Review – Dante’s Peak

– summary –.

Director : Roger Donaldson Year Of Release : 1997 Principal Cast : Pierce Brosnan, Linda Hamilton, Charles Hallahan, Elizabeth Hoffman, Jamie Renee Smith, Jeremy Foley, Grant Heslov, Arabella Field, Tzi Ma, Bill Bolender, Peter Jason. Approx Running Time : 109 Minutes Synopsis: A vulcanologist arrives at a countryside town named Dante’s Peak after a long dormant volcano, which has recently been named the second most desirable place to live in America, and discovers that Dante’s Peak, may wake up at any moment. What we think : Takes a while to build up (a little like the titular volcano!) but once things erupt (ha!), the film is cataclysmic. Utilizing the best effects Hollywood money can buy, but brought low by daffy characters and liberal use of fudge-science, Dante’s Peak is hugely entertaining Guilty Pleasure film-making that does its job but not much else.

**********************

Bond Versus The Volcano.

Although missing his trademark suit, martini or Austin Martin, Pierce Brosnan’s mid-Bond star power was enough to pull Dante’s Peak , a 1997 disaster film accompanying the Tommy Lee Jones LA-set Volcano into cinemas in the same calendar year, into one of the year’s biggest earners. Much like Armageddon and Deep Impact did for asteroids, one film takes itself utterly seriously, while the other goes for the lighter tone of fun and tongue-in-cheek disaster. If Volcano took itself seriously, Dante’s Peak has that knowing wink to the audience that this is pure fictional bullshit, a superficially accurate depiction of volcanic violence writ across the widescreen ratio of blockbusterism and commercial disaster-porn. Well before people started taking fiction so seriously ( Man Of Steel , ahem), and before 9/11’s seismic shift of disaster depictions, Dante’s Peak was a vacuous, unilaterally cheesy action flick that was sold on the premise that, at some point, a volcano was going to erupt and all hell was going to break loose.

I alluded to Jaws earlier; Dante’s Peak follows Spielberg’s classic formula to a T. First, it lays the groundwork on giving the lead character – in this case, Harry – a tragic backstory for motivation, with his wife killed in a volcanic eruption prior to the main story of this film occurring – before placing our hero in a predicament where nobody will believe that the readings he’s getting from the volcano are real or even anything to be concerned about. In fact, if you supplanted Harry Dalton for Roy Scheider’s character from Jaws , you’d probably have made almost no change to the emotional crux of this movie. Then, naturally, when things seem relatively calm and in control, the volcano erupts, spewing its destructive power onto the hapless humans below. It’s a formula, and in 1997, the formula worked.

No doubt the film’s eventual box-office was hindered by the critical and commercial flatline of Volcano a few months earlier, but Dante’s Peak is a far better film. Brosnan, working at the peak of his James Bond powers, provides a more than capable leading man against Terminator franchise’s Linda Hamilton, who is stuck in a limited, undemanding role as the town’s Mayor. Although the film tries to shoehorn in a romantic subplot (which doesn’t work), Brosnan’s character remains as elusively derivative as any other in a 90’s action flick, and although the actor works to make his part convincingly human, when you throw it against the raging inferno of lava and fireballs it kinda pales into insignificance.

Dante’s Peak isn’t an intelligent movie, now is it trying to change the way you think about volcanoes. Nope, it’s a rock-solid (pardon the pun) adventure thriller, a subwoofer-testing farce of a disaster flick the likes only Hollywood can produce. Slick, well mounted, and featuring still-okay visual effects (the pyroclastic cloud obliterating the town is still gasp-worthy) and an early James Newtown Howard score, Dante’s Peak is a fun piece of eye-and-ear candy that taxes the grey matter naught but for the silliness of it all. File it under guilty pleasure and enjoy.

This film's perfect! Haven't seen it in ages but I loved this film as a kid lol! James Bond AND Sarah Connor? Hell yeah!

The thing that annoyed me about it on debut was that it took so freakin' long to get to the explodey stuff. Now that I've matured, I can appreciate the build in tension – but for the eon of time it took ol' Dante to go bang it drove me crazy.

Yeah I will admit being annoyed by the wait but I think I was so young I just didn't care because it was Bond haha! Definitely a lot better than Paul WS Anderson's Pompeii from last year…

Aww hell, I'd rather this than Pompeii any day. This film has, and will continue, to age better than Pompeii ever will….

Remembering Dante's Peak, the Other Volcano Movie from 1997

In a year of rival disaster movies, Dante's Peak is sometimes forgotten, but still worth revisiting.

Harry Dalton (Pierce Brosnan) and Rachel Wando (Linda Hamilton) appear frightened in Dante's Peak (1997).

Amid the disaster movie revival of the 1990s, we were bound to get some films competing on similar turf. The most famous of these accidental rivalries is, of course, Deep Impact and Armageddon , the pair of asteroid films that arrived to rock the summer of 1998. Just one year earlier, though, we got another accidental disaster movie rivalry that's less discussed, but still memorable.

We're talking, of course, about the pair of volcano disaster films that arrived in the first half of 1997. The more famous of these, Volcano , starred Tommy Lee Jones as an emergency manager trying to navigate an unexpected and disastrous lava flow running through Los Angeles. Just a few months earlier, though, another volcano film arrived that was less successful, but still packs an intriguing punch more than 25 years later. It's called Dante's Peak , and you can stream it right now on Peacock .

Directed by Roger Donaldson ( No Way Out , Species ) and starring Pierce Brosnan as a volcanologist trying to protect the titular Pacific Northwest town, Dante's Peak arrived in February of 1997 to largely negative reviews and a decent, if not spectacular, box office haul. Its somewhat muted reception, which was overtaken by Volcano a few months later, means that while it's been in steady cable rotation over the years, it's never quite risen to classic status, or even cult classic status. It's just one of those films that's always there in the background somewhere, and that's a shame, because despite some rather predictable storytelling and a front half with some pacing issues, there's quite a bit of disaster movie fun to be had here.

Brosnan is Harry Dalton, a volcanologist who lost someone he loved in a previous eruption and is, therefore, a bit jittery when it comes to protecting human lives in the path of a potential disaster. So when Harry is sent to evaluate some seismic activity near the idyllic town of Dante's Peak (named for the mountain looming over the place), he quickly tells Mayor Rachel Wando ( Resident Alien 's Linda Hamilton ) to put the town on alert and get everyone ready to evacuate. Naturally, people are skeptical, including Harry's bosses at the U.S. Geological Survey and local businessmen who are hoping to boost the town's economic profile, a goal that would naturally be hindered by volcanic dangers. So, a bureaucratic push-pull ensues, even as –– you guessed it –– we get closer and closer to an eruption.

There are a couple of classic disaster movie tropes put front and center by the script from Leslie Bohem ( Daylight , Nowhere to Run ), starting with Harry's life as the film begins. A prologue reveals the loss he suffered in the last major eruption of his career, then reveals a man completely devoted to his work, who stays home when he's supposed to be on vacation and insists on going out to check on potential danger even when his bosses would rather hold him back. He's not without levity or warmth, but like so many disaster heroes before him, we're meant to see Harry as a guy whose life has been hardened by circumstance, and is waiting to be softened by the right person.

Then there's the whole first half of the film, which is largely devoted to Harry trying to warn everyone of increasingly dangerous activity around the mountain, only to be pushed back by governmental concerns, local naysayers, and others who insist that he's crying eruption when there's no need for such warnings. This is the part of the film that can get a little rough to watch, particularly in a post-COVID age when we've seen so many similar arguments about other natural dangers, and it sometimes feels like the characters are disagreeing not because it's what they'd really do, but because the film needs some kind of drama. The film takes its time, unfolding like the Deep Impact to Volcano 's Armageddon , and that requires a little patience from the viewer.

Unlike Volcano , though, when the actual eruption starts to unfold in Dante's Peak , things get increasingly dangerous in a more realistic way. Volcano is largely about what happens when a major city that's not expecting a volcano is left to contend with lava flowing through the streets, while Dante's Peak is about an actual volcanic mountain going through its various phases of eruption. That gives Donaldson and his cast room to play with various threats and explore various survival scenarios, from a rain of ash to superheated mud to, yes, eventual lava cascading down the mountain and toward the town. There's even a memorable (if a little jerkily filmed) sequence in which a lake turns to acid because of all the volcanic activity shifting the natural realm around the characters. It's a wild ride, and because the volcano gets increasingly dangerous throughout the film, Dante's Peak is able to keep building and building all the way up to its climactic moments.

So, while it might not be a modern classic, Dante's Peak holds up surprisingly well for a 1990s disaster movie that was overshadowed by a different 1990s disaster movie. The next time you're in the mood for this particular genre, give it a watch. It might surprise you.

Dante's Peak is now streaming on Peacock .

Reviewed by: Jennie Kermode

Hollywood has a habit of working in cycles, with everybody tackling the same subject at once. Sometimes it's vampires, sometimes it's alien invasions. In the summer of 1997 it was volcanoes. By contrast with the cheerily cheesy Volcano , Dante's Peak was the grown-up, serious version, working super hard to get the science right and present realistic peril. It sticks pretty closely to standard disaster movie formula wth a family in danger, lots of expendable minor characters and a gruesome early scene heralding a long stretch in which hardly anything happens. There is also a cute dog.

Facing off against this particular volcano is town mayor Rachel (Linda Hamilton). As tough and practical as any of the actress' characters, she looks as though she could do a pretty good job of battling the magma by herself, but formula requires that an official be accompanied by a scientist, and so we get Harry (Pierce Brosnan). For Harry, it's personal. A volcano killed his girlfriend and he's out to prove that he's man enough to defeat this one. Squashing the capable Hamilton firmly into a supporting role, Brosnan emotes furiously, using both his acting faces. He's aided by a suitably manly truck which can drive through rivers and smash through barricades, and which has tyres that are immune to lava. In spare moments he effortlessly romances the mayor, giving him a motive to drive up the erupting volcano in order to rescue her mawkish kids.

So far, so awful, but Dante's Peak has two redeeming qualities. The first is its unusual take on the volcanic process which, rather than being hampered by realism, uses that to create scenarios we haven't seen elsewhere in cinema. The second is its cinematography, which makes the most of alien-looking ash-strewn landscapes and the contrast potential of the glowing magma on the snowy peak. It's approached with a degree of understatement that makes it much creepier, especially in the nerve-racking scene where our heroes find themselves adrift on a lake of sulphuric acid.

Once the film gets going, the action sequences are rapid and inventive. There are plenty of clichés - the blocked road, the self-sacrificing grandmother, the dog rescue - but the bizarre setting goes some way toward reinvigorating them. Occasionally dodgy effects are balanced by effective use of natural phenomena like raging rivers to create a proper sense of the scale of the threat. Crucially, this strange world feels real, and the weak, perfunctory ending doesn't detract from the thrill of the ride.

Anybody a fan of Dante's Peak (1997)?

Dante's Peak reminds me of Jaws in many ways. Both feature a small town setting and focus on a small group of characters for the majority runtime. One of these is a technical expert on the subject matter while the other is an influential local official. The first halves of both movies explore the local town, its culture, geography, politics and issues while the second half is all about tackling a monster. In Jaws it is the dang shark whereas in Dante's Peak it is the volcano (a very different kind of threat however).

Of Course Dante is not in the same league as Jaws. One thing that really pulls Dante down is the basic writing. The dialogue never impresses. Another negative is the climax. Being stuck in a rubble and then waiting to be rescued for 20 minutes really killed the momentum they had generated earlier.

The visual effects of DP deserve praise given the time period. The destruction of the volcano and the subsequent effects on the nearby areas was terrifying.

One thing of note in DP is that I really liked the way they showed the working of the scientist/geologist group. Normally science comes across as boring in movies but here I was invested in their research, analysis and the slowly building tension that there is indeed something wrong with the volcano. They should have focused more on that and then show the destruction in the final 30 minutes instead of giving it the full 60 minute treatment.

I do like small town movies as well as disaster movies so seeing a combination of them together in Dante's Peak was a plus for me. I did like the movie and think it's a fun ride from the 90s.

Rating: 7/10

Film review: Dante's Peak

By deseret news , chris hicks, movie critic.

If "Dante's Peak" is to be believed, geologists are wasting their time with all that fancy, expensive equipment they use to study volcanos. Instead, they should simply rely on instinct.

When Harry Dalton (Pierce Brosnan) heads up to the small Northwest community of Dante's Peak (in upstate Washington) to check out a dormant volcano, he gets a strong feeling that the mountain is going to erupt. But because the equipment shows nothing active, his boss and colleagues don't believe him.

Naturally, it's too late when Harry's boss finally sees the error of his ways. "You were right and I was wrong," he shouts into a cell phone over the din of fiery falling rocks.

And it proves to be slight consolation when lava is pouring in through the windows.

Meanwhile, Harry has his own demons. It's man against mountain. And to redeem himself four years after a tragic volcano-related incident in his life, Harry puts all his efforts into saving the town's divorced mayor (Linda Hamilton) and her two kids.

A disaster du jour, "Dante's Peak" at first steals blatantly from "Jaws" (a skinny-dipping couple is sucked into a too-hot spring; the City Council doesn't want to chase off investors with a volcano scare), then becomes "When Time Ran Out . . ." (disastermeister Irwin Allen's 1980 volcano epic), then shifts into "Indiana Jones" mode as Harry and friends narrowly escape flowing lava (outracing it in a truck), an acidic lake (eating away at their rowboat) and a fragile mine shaft (which only seems to collapse in their immediate vicinity). There are also earthquakes and floods and a bridge that falls apart.

Among the film's more ridiculous moments:

- As a mass of fire and smoke bears down on them, destroying an entire town in its wake, Harry tells the two kids in the back seat to duck down for safety.

- During their frantic effort to drive down the mountain, Harry pauses to rescue the children's dog, which is perched on a rock surrounded by lava.

- Fearful for the life of their grandmother - who inexplicably refuses to leave her mountain home (think of Art Carney's character in "St. Helens") - the young children drive a truck up the mountain to rescue her, in the dead of night and through thick ash and soot.

No verbal cliche is left unturned, either. When the geologists are told by their boss to leave, one says, "What, and miss God's big show?" while someone else, jarred by an earthquake notes, "It's going to blow."

If there were some humor or character development or any remote amount of plausibility here, "Dante's Peak" might be somewhat palatable.

What "Twister" had going for it was the unique viewpoint of a radical bunch of "storm chasers" who actually headed into bad weather, where most movies are about running away. There was also some wit attached to "Twister," and it wasn't just wisecracks. Visually, there were gags that stretched the imagination, from the flying cow to the moving house that Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton drive through.

No such luck here. It's like watching someone else on a Universal Studios Tour action ride.

"Dante's Peak" is rated PG-13 for violence, gore, some profanity and a couple of mildly vulgar remarks.

February 7, 1997 Dante's Peak By JANET MASLIN ount St. Helens, call your agent. Maybe you have the snow-capped, lava-spewing look of this season's hottest movie stars. Volcanic action is poised to arrive in a big way, first with "Dante's Peak" and then with "Volcano," a latecomer that at least has an ad slogan ("The Coast Is Toast") better than its title or timing. On the other hand, on today's evidence, one neo-Pompeii picture could be quite enough. "Dante's Peak" does prove that even if volcanic eruption is not the most exciting of disasters, it's definitely the messiest to clean up. Hot rocks, earthquakes, landslides, acid-polluted water and billowing black clouds all contribute to this film's efforts to demolish a sweet little mountain town in the Pacific Northwest. The special effects are suitably catastrophic, though they aren't much more clever than the computer tricks that turn up in beer commercials these days. Picturesque Dante's Peak has a miniskirted mayor (Linda Hamilton), the best espresso east of Seattle and a citation from Money magazine for being America's second most pleasant small town. (A good insurance policy would have come in handier.) It also has a Ferris wheel, a marching band and a special Pioneer Days Festival luring lots of vulnerable citizens out of doors. Probably none of this has anything to do with Mother Nature's decision to wipe the place off the map. "What do you think the odds against an eruption are here?" asks one volcano expert. "A thousand to one?" Of course you can bet the price of a movie ticket that the odds are lower. So it's only a matter of time before the film's picture-postcard landscape goes berserk. Nasty as this might be in reality, here it's just an occasion for vicarious excitement, by-the-numbers destruction and the occasional flash of demented bravado. As the "Twister"-type team of volcano-busters observes about a fatally unlucky colleague, "At least he got to see the show." There is the faint but welcome suspicion here that somebody is half-kidding. That somebody is Leslie Bohem, who wrote the screenplay and also did time in the Holland Tunnel with "Daylight" and Sylvester Stallone. Though directed by Roger Donaldson with too much emphasis on humorless action-movie hyperbole, "Dante's Peak" is written as something of a genre parody, right down to the young couple who pick the wrong place to go skinny-dipping early in the story. No sharks in the mountains? How about hot springs that are really hot? The movie's mild-mannered action hero is Harry Dalton (Pierce Brosnan), star vulcanologist. ("You mean like Dr. Spock, I mean Mr. Spock?" he's asked.) First seen in a prologue dodging torrents of flaming glop, Harry is a seasoned veteran. His career has taken him "wherever there's a volcano with an attitude," which gives the film a chance to drop celebrity names like that of Mount Pinatubo. And he has seen tragedy: "Her name was Marian. We worked together. She loved volcanos." Poor Marian should have thought twice about that. As the action begins, Harry is alerted to danger signals in Dante's Peak area and sent to investigate. "Just up here to check on your mountain, that's all," he explains, hoping to keep the populace calm. Actually, there's precious little cause for alarm. It takes the film an awfully long while to deliver any reason to flee. Instead, much time is spent on the tepid flirtation between Harry and Rachel Wando (Ms. Hamilton), who serves up cappuccino when she isn't running Dante's Peak. A subplot involves Rachel's spry ex-mother-in-law, who is the volcano-hugging type and won't come down from her mountain home even when the mountain threatens to blow its top. Rachel's two brave children are forced to rescue their grandma. This is an excuse both to give the film some child appeal and to send red-hot, computer-generated lava bursting into Grandma's log cabin. "Dante's Peak" proves a bit too macabre to qualify as fun for the whole family, since Grandma eventually falls into an acid lake with extremely unfortunate results. Harry is also injured, as indicated by a sickening shot of protruding bone. But in a movie that hews as closely as possible to the best-loved cliches of disasterdom, there's at least one guaranteed bit of good news. Nobody would dare leave burning, quaking, crumbling Dante's Peak without rescuing the Wando family dog. As "Dante's Peak" formulaically ushers in a new cycle of disaster films, it's time again to question the value of watching the planet going so spectacularly to pot. And there's also reason to notice that a movie can make a lot of noise, and pile on every plague short of locusts, without making much of a dent. Where are those locusts, anyway? Probably coming to the multiplex for summer '98. PRODUCTION NOTES DANTE'S PEAK Rating: "Dante's Peak" is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). It includes the above-mentioned grisly touches. Directed by Roger Donaldson; written by Leslie Bohem; director of photography, Andrzej Bartkowiak; edited by Howard Smith, Conrad Buff and Tina Hirsch; music by John Frizzell; production designer, Dennis Washington; produced by Gale Anne Hurd and Joseph M. Singer; released by Universal Pictures. Running time: 112 minutes. Cast: Pierce Brosnan (Harry Dalton) and Linda Hamilton (Rachel Wando).

A volcanologist arrives at a countryside town recently named the second-most desirable place to live in America, and discovers that a nearby long-dormant volcano may awaken at any moment.
Volcanologist Harry Dalton and mayor Rachel Wando of Dante's Peak try to convince the city council and the other volcanologists that the volcano right above Dante's peak is indeed dangerous. People's safety is being set against economical interests. — Rune Dahl Fitjar < [email protected] >
Without warning, day becomes night, air turns to fire, and solid ground melts beneath white-hot lava. Welcome to the town of Dante's Peak, where a long-dormant volcano is about to erupt with devastating force. Who will survive when the inferno unleashes its fury? — Robert Lynch < [email protected] >
USGS scientist Harry Dalton is sent to the small town of Dante's Peak to check on unusual activity. Spurred by the volcano-related death of a previous lover, Dalton urges Mayor Rachel Wando to put the city on alert. Dalton's boss, Paul Dreyfus, arrives and countermands Dalton demanding scientific proof. When the proof finally arrives, Harry and Rachel must go to the volcano to rescue her two children and ex-mother-in-law. Tension builds as they try to reach safety while the town below is destroyed. — Mark Perew < [email protected] >
Harry Dalton ( Pierce Brosnan ) is one of the most experienced geologists in the United States Geological Survey (USGS), and a 4-year bachelor after he lost his girlfriend, Marianne ( Walker Brandt ), to a volcanic eruption in Colombia. He receives a call from his boss, Paul Dreyfus ( Charles Hallahan ), to check on unusual activity of a dormant volcano in the Cascades called Dante's Peak. While the town of the same name is celebrating their accomplishment to be number 2 on the most wanted place to live in the country, he meets Rachael Wando ( Linda Hamilton ), the town mayor and owner of a food and drinks store. While Harry is checking on Dante's Peak he notices trees, animals and even people had died recently near the volcano, and he wants to put the city council on alert, but people are putting economical interests first and security second. Even Dreyfus would not listen to Harry, invoking lack of real scientific evidence while actually being afraid of causing huge financial losses for the investors, and countermands Harry's alert. For a week, the volcano was not overly active, but then the activity began to increase. Just as the city council was put on alert, Dante's Peak erupts. Harry and Rachael must traverse through ash that falls like rain, lava, acid lakes and a pyroclastic cloud to escape from the volcano, and save Rachael's mother and her two children. Who will survive when day becomes night, air turns to fire, and solid ground melts beneath white-hot lava? — Artemis-9
In 1993, USGS Volcanologist Dr. Harry Dalton (Pierce Brosnan) and his partner, Marianne (Walker Brandt), attempt to escape Galeras's eruption in Colombia. In the escape a piece of debris kills Marianne. Four years later, Harry is assigned by his superior, Dr. Paul Dreyfus (Charles Hallahan), to investigate seismic activity near Dante's Peak, Washington, a town that borders a dormant Stratovolcano (chances of an eruption are 10000 to 1). Harry arrives at the town and meets with the mayor, Rachel Wando (Linda Hamilton), and her children, Graham (Jeremy Foley) and Lauren (Jamie Renée Smith). The town around the volcano was just voted 2nd best to live in USA, population below 20K, and is about to receive a major investment from Blair industries. Rachel offers to take Harry with them as they see her former mother-in-law, Ruth (Elizabeth Hoffman), who lives near a lake at the base of the volcano. While exploring, they find dead trees, dead squirrels, and even two people boiled to death by a hot spring. Paul arrives with a USGS team that evening, and they set up base to monitor the volcano. Harry believes the disturbances to be signs of an impending eruption, but Paul disagrees and advises against giving a false alarm. Still, Harry tries to convince Rachel to prepare for a disaster, while developing a relationship with her and the children. The town council is more worried about the message this sends to Blair's $18MM investment and 800 jobs. Harry disagrees with Paul's recommendation, but Paul is adamant that these matters involve politics and economics. A week passes, but although one of Harry's colleagues, Terry (Kirk Trutner), is injured in an earthquake and avalanche in the summit crater, the volcano shows no signs of serious activity, and the USGS team begins preparing to leave. Other team members are Nancy (Arabella Field), Stan (Tzi Ma) etc. Harry is livid since he feels those quakes were not tectonic, they were Magmatic, and he is not OK with Paul not recommending the town to be put on alert. But the entire team says that there is no activity of any kind. However, when Harry goes to say goodbye to Rachel, they discover the town's water supply has been contaminated with sulfur dioxide, and the next morning, seismic readings and gas levels rise dramatically. Finally convinced that the volcano will erupt, and with the National Guard unavailable until the next day, Paul gives Harry permission to put the town on alert. Before the group can evacuate the town, the eruption begins. In the ensuing chaos, Harry and Rachel go to retrieve the children, only to find they have gone to get Ruth, who refuses to leave her home. Just as they reach Ruth and the children, a lava flow engulfs Ruth's cabin and destroys the vehicles both parties used to get there. They can't go back via the road, as it has been destroyed in the quakes and the resulting landslides. The five flee across the lake in a motorboat, but the lake has become acidic due to sulfur-rich gases from the volcano, destroying the motor and eating away at the boat. Ruth jumps out of the boat to help it to shore but sustains severe chemical burns and dies the next morning with her family and Harry at her side. Meanwhile the chopper pilot that Paul had hired for their stay, tries to profit by flying people out of the town. But the chopper crashes after taking in ash through the engines. The heat from the volcano melts the glaciers on the peak, forming a Lahar which collapses a dam on the river leading into town. During a lull in the eruption, Harry and the Wandos take a ranger's truck and set off back to town, where the National Guard is helping evacuate the town. A bridge over the Lahar fails, and while the USGS team makes it across, their van and Paul are lost to the flood. Meanwhile, Harry and the Wandos are forced to drive across a lava flow in their path, rescuing Ruth's dog, Roughy, along the way. When they arrive back in the deserted town, they find all escape routes gone. While retrieving a distress radio beacon, Harry learns the volcano is due for a more violent second eruption. As he races for the town's abandoned mine, the volcano explodes, and they barely make it to the mine before the town is overrun and destroyed by Pyroclastic cloud flows. The USGS team, watching the eruption from afar, presume Harry dead. Harry leads the Wandos to Graham's former clubhouse in the mine, only to realize he left the beacon in the truck. When he goes back for it, the mine collapses, nearly crushing the truck and trapping him inside (with a badly broken bone (protruding bones and all)). Harry eventually manages to activate the beacon after much difficulty. A few days later, Terry notices the beacon has been activated, and the USGS dispatches search and rescue teams. Harry and the Wandos are freed from the mine, reunited with Harry's team, and airlifted out by helicopter. As the credits roll, the camera pans over the obliterated town before turning to the volcano, now reduced to a caldera.

Dante’s Peak Parent Guide

Dante's Peak is a disaster movie about a volcanic eruption, that follows the classic formula like hot lava running downhill -- but isn't that the exact thrill ride we were seeking?

Run Time: 104 minutes

The guide to our grades, parent movie review by rod gustafson.

A film about a volcanic eruption, Dante’s Peak follows this classic disaster formula like hot lava running downhill, but it’s the refreshing common sense attitudes of its characters that gives this movie a sensibility that reaches beyond its special effects.

Even small details are included, like when Harry Dalton (Pierce Brosnan) drives through a raging river in a four-wheel-drive Suburban—a popular activity in movies that causes many people to drown their sport utility vehicles in rainstorms. But a movie miracle happens when his frightened passenger, Rachel (Linda Hamilton), asks just how he is going to get across. Dalton shows her a neat little device called an engine snorkel that sticks up above the water and delivers air to the engine. Bravo to the writers who at least offered an explanation.

For young children, this movie will be frightening, especially if you live near a volcano. Parents are well advised to heed the MPAA PG-13 rating. I praise the producers for holding back on unnecessary gore, but it is after all, a story about people being buried alive under volcanic debris. Language is more crass than necessary, and sexual content consists of a naked female’s upper back and an invitation for an overnight stay that never develops.

Keeping this content in mind, Dante’s Peak erupts into one of the most exciting disaster films made thus far, and will keep parents and teens hanging on for the ride. Lets just hope the next fifty-something guy will learn his lesson.

Where Was Dante’s Peak Filmed? From Screen to Reality

Movie buffs!!!

Ever watched the 1997 disaster film “Dante’s Peak”? Directed by Roger Donaldson and starring the dashing Pierce Brosnan and the talented Linda Hamilton, this film took us on a thrilling journey through the fictional town of Dante’s Peak.

But what truly made this film stand out were its breathtaking filming locations. The right backdrop can elevate a movie from good to unforgettable, and “Dante’s Peak” is a testament to that.

Fun Fact: The film was released under the production of Universal Pictures and Pacific Western Productions.

Setting the Scene

The story revolves around USGS volcanologist Harry Dalton, played by Pierce Brosnan, who is sent to investigate seismic activity near Dante’s Peak, Washington. The town is nestled beside a dormant stratovolcano, which, spoiler alert, doesn’t remain dormant for long.

As Harry gets to know Mayor Rachel Wando and her family, they uncover signs of an impending eruption. The film beautifully intertwines the suspense of a natural disaster with personal relationships, making it a gripping watch from start to finish.

Pro Tip: If you’re a fan of disaster films , the natural disaster theme in “Dante’s Peak” is a must-watch!

Choosing the Ideal Backdrop

The process of scouting and selecting the perfect filming location is no easy feat. For disaster films like “Dante’s Peak”, authenticity is paramount. The audience needs to believe in the setting to truly feel the tension and drama.

And let me tell you, the locations chosen for this film did not disappoint. From the real-life town of Wallace, Idaho , to the majestic landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, every location added depth and realism to the narrative.

Fun Fact: The film was shot on location in Wallace, Idaho, and even used exterior shots of the Point Dume Post Office in Malibu, California!

Exploring the Real-Life Town

Wallace, Idaho, played a pivotal role in bringing the fictional town of Dante’s Peak to life. This charming town, with its unique features and atmosphere, was the perfect choice to portray a community on the brink of a volcanic disaster. As you watch the film, you can’t help but feel connected to Wallace and its inhabitants, rooting for their safety and survival.

Pro Tip: If you’re ever in the Pacific Northwest, consider taking a detour to Wallace, Idaho. Experience the town that played such a crucial role in “Dante’s Peak” and soak in its rich history and beauty.

Capturing the Landscapes

The Pacific Northwest, often referred to as Cascadia, is a breathtaking region in western North America, bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Rocky Mountains to the east. This region encompasses the U.S. states of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, and sometimes even the Canadian province of British Columbia.

Fun Fact: The Pacific Northwest is sometimes confused with the Northwest Territory or the Northwest Territories of Canada. However, the term “Pacific Northwest” specifically refers to the coastal region of northwestern North America.

The landscapes here are dominated by several mountain ranges, including the Coast Mountains, the Cascade Range, and the Olympic Mountains. The highest peak in this region is Mount Rainier, standing tall at 14,410 feet, making it a sight to behold.

Pro Tip: If you’re a hiking enthusiast, the Pacific Northwest offers some of the best trails . Don’t miss out on the Mount Rainier trails if you’re looking for a challenging yet rewarding experience.

Facing the Elements

Filming in the Pacific Northwest, with its diverse landscapes, is no easy feat. The region is geologically active, with active volcanoes and geologic faults. The last known significant earthquake in this area was the 1700 Cascadia earthquake. Such geological activities pose challenges for film crews, from ensuring the safety of the equipment to the well-being of the cast and crew.

Fun Fact: Active volcanoes in the region include Mount Garibaldi, Mount Baker, Mount St. Helens, and Mount Hood, among others.

Safety precautions are paramount. Filming near active volcanoes or geologically sensitive areas requires constant monitoring and collaboration with local geological experts. The unpredictable weather, especially in coastal regions, can also play spoilsport, leading to delays and rescheduling.

Transforming Reality into Fiction

While the Pacific Northwest offers stunning natural backdrops, the magic of cinema often requires a blend of practical and digital effects to bring a director’s vision to life. For disaster films like “Dante’s Peak,” the real challenge lies in making the sequences look realistic yet spectacular.

Practical effects, such as controlled explosions or water sequences, are often shot on location. Later, visual effects teams enhance these sequences digitally, adding layers of detail and magnitude that might be too dangerous or impossible to capture in reality.

Pro Tip: Next time you watch a disaster film, try to spot the seamless blend of practical and digital effects. It’s an art in itself!

Immersion Through Authenticity

There’s a reason why filmmakers often choose real locations over studio sets. Authenticity. When audiences see real landscapes, towns, and landmarks, they feel more immersed in the story.

The Pacific Northwest, with its unique blend of coastal beauty, dense forests, and majestic mountains, offers that genuine feel which is hard to replicate. Iconic scenes, when shot in such authentic locations, leave a lasting impact, making the movie memorable.

Fun Fact: The Pacific Northwest forests are among the most lush in North America, with the Coast Douglas fir trees being the second tallest growing evergreen conifer on earth.

In “Dante’s Peak,” the choice of real locations added depth to the narrative, making the impending disaster feel all the more real and imminent. The audience could connect with the characters, understanding their love for their town and the dread of the looming catastrophe.

Pro Tip: If you’re an aspiring filmmaker, always weigh the pros and cons of shooting on location versus a studio. Sometimes, authenticity can elevate your story to new heights.

Beyond the Silver Screen

“Dante’s Peak” not only entertained audiences worldwide but also left an indelible mark on the Pacific Northwest, especially in places like Wallace, Idaho. The film’s release turned the spotlight onto these serene and picturesque locations, making them popular tourist destinations. Fans and movie enthusiasts flocked to these sites, eager to experience the real-life settings of their favorite disaster film.

Fun Fact: Wallace, Idaho, saw a surge in visitors post the film’s release, with many wanting to walk the same streets as Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton.

Recreating the Experience

Film tourism, where fans visit filming locations of their favorite movies, has been a growing trend over the years. “Dante’s Peak” is no exception. The movie’s authentic portrayal of the Pacific Northwest has drawn fans from all over the world.

These visits offer fans a deeper connection to the film, allowing them to relive iconic scenes and moments. From the serene Mirror Lake, where Grandma Ruth’s lakeside house was depicted, to the majestic landscapes of Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument, fans can immerse themselves in the world of “Dante’s Peak.”

Dante's Peak is a very, very, very cool movie with lots of special effects. If they cut out they dead bodies, some swearing and Harry's arm, it could pass as a "PG". My 9 year old sister said she never wanted to see a "PG-13" again in her life. I thought it was a very intense movie, but not that scary.

Parents need to know that Dante's Peak is a 1997 disaster movie about a small town called Dante's Peak that sits at the foot of a dormant volcano of the same name.

Dante's Peak (1997) By Christian Sauvé 2016-09-28 2017-03-09 Movie Review (Second Viewing, On DVD, September 2016) I remember seeing Dante's Peak in theatres and being quite a bit impressed at the special effects, town destruction and convincing re-creation of a major volcanic eruption.

The 1970s was a decade that saw the genre peak with high profile blockbuster films that became extremely successful (Poseidon Adventure, The Towering Inferno, Earthquake).

A volcanologist arrives at a countryside town recently named the second-most desirable place to live in America, and discovers that a nearby long-dormant volcano may awaken at any moment.

Dante's Peak is a methodically slow build-up of human stupidity and fallible commercial interests overriding basic human safety - the Jurassic Park method, really, where nobody believes the scientists or the doomsayers until it's waaaaaay too late. Eventually, you know the volcano is going to explode, and when it does, the film picks you ...

In the summer of 1997 it was volcanoes. By contrast with the cheerily cheesy Volcano, Dante's Peak was the grown-up, serious version, working super hard to get the science right and present realistic peril. It sticks pretty closely to standard disaster movie formula wth a family in danger, lots of expendable minor characters and a gruesome ...

The first halves of both movies explore the local town, its culture, geography, politics and issues while the second half is all about tackling a monster.

I recently watched this movie again as an adult and it's a fun old school disaster movie. I would recommend adding under "sex" that a dead couple is seen facedown and naked in the water (full backside exposed). Other than that the movie definitely has violent moments but a good classic. 1 person found this helpful.

Keeping this content in mind, Dante's Peak erupts into one of the most exciting disaster films made thus far, and will keep parents and teens hanging on for the ride.
