About Geostorm in brief
Geostorm is a 2017 American science fiction disaster film directed, co-written, and co-produced by Dean Devlin. The film stars Gerard Butler, Jim Sturgess, Ed Harris, Abbie Cornish, Richard Schiff, Alexandra Maria Lara, Robert Sheehan, Daniel Wu, Eugenio Derbez, and Andy García. It was released by Warner Bros. in the United States on October 20, 2017, in 2D, Real D 3D and IMAX 3D. Despite grossing USD 221 million worldwide the film was labeled a box office flop given its USD 120 million budget, losing the studio USD 74 million, and received largely negative reviews. The plot follows a satellite designer who tries to save the world from a storm of epic proportions caused by malfunctioning climate-controlling satellites. In 2019, following many catastrophic natural disasters, an international coalition commissions a system of climate- Controlling satellites called \”Dutch Boy\”. After Dutch Boy neutralizes a typhoon in Shanghai, a United States Senate sub-committee reprimands chief architect Jake Lawson, because he brought Dutch Boy online without authorization and replaces him with his brother Max.
Max enlists his girlfriend, Secret Service agent Sarah Wilson, to acquire the code for Project Zeus, which simulates extreme weather patterns to create a Geostorm. During this time, the ICSS team loses control of all operations as the virus initiates the self-destruct program. The ICSS staff neutralize malfunctioning satellites by deliberately knocking them offline via collisions with replacement satellites. Back on Earth, Cheng discovers he and Max have lost login access and warns Max of a global cataclysm if the malfunction continues. Max persuades Jake to go to the International Climate Space Station to investigate. They recover the hard drive, but hide it from the crew, suspecting a traitor, and examine the data, leading to the discovery that a computer virus has been introduced which is causing the malfunctions and has wiped out the login access of key senior people to the satellite. Max and Sarah escort Jake to the Kennedy Space Center, where they learn the code cannot be stopped as more disasters strike around the world.
