Les Mayas, l'une des plus fascinantes civilisations que la Terre ait portées, nous ont transmis une prophétie : leur calendrier prend fin en 2012, et notre monde aussi. Depuis, les astrologues l'ont confirmé, les numérologues l'ont prédit, les géophysiciens trouvent cela dangereusement plausible, et même les experts scientifiques gouvernementaux finissent par arriver à cette terrifiante conclusion.
Synopsis
Dr. Adrian Helmsley, part of a worldwide geophysical team investigating the effect on the earth of radiation from unprecedented solar storms, learns that the earth's core is heating up. He warns U.S. President Thomas Wilson that the crust of the earth is becoming unstable and that without proper preparations for saving a fraction of the world's population, the entire race is doomed. Meanwhile, writer Jackson Curtis stumbles on the same information. While the world's leaders race to build "arks" to escape the impending cataclysm, Curtis struggles to find a way to save his family. Meanwhile, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes of unprecedented strength wreak havoc around the world.
