A volcanologist (Brosnan) forlorn over the loss of his wife in the Mt. Pinatubo eruption arrives at a small
Pacific Northwest town to investigate the rumblings of the local dormant volcano. Though he
instantly fears the worse, he must convince the skeptical townspeople and his suspicious superiors
who believe he is overreacting in the aftermath of his own tragedy. The beautiful, widowed mayor (Hamilton)
of the picturesque town believes him, however, and soon they find themselves in a fight for their
lives as Dante's Peak blows its stack ten miles high, raining ash and fire over everything in its
shadow.
