Films are also listed if a disaster plays a role in the film, even if the film is not considered a disaster film. Disaster films are motion pictures which depict an impending or ongoing [[disaster]]. The films typically feature large casts and multiple storylines and focus on the protagonists' attempts to avert, escape, or cope with the disaster presented. ==[[Natural disaster]]s== ===Geological disasters=== *''[[The Core]]'' (2003) *''On Hostile Ground'' (2000) ====[[Avalanche]]s==== *''Avalanche'' (1969) *''Avalanche'' (1978) *''Avalanche'' (1994) *''Avalanche'' (1999) *''Avalanche'' (2001) *''[[Avalanche Alley]]'' (2001) *''[[Avalanche Express]]'' (1979) *''Lavina'' (1982) *''Nature Unleashed: Avalanche'' (2004) *''Trapped: Buried Alive'' (2002) *''[[Vertical Limit]]'' (2000) ====[[Earthquake]]s==== *''[[10.5 (TV series)|10.5]]'' (2004) *''[[10.5: Apocalypse]]'' (2006) *''[[Aftershock: Earthquake in New York]]'' (1999) *''Aftershocks'' (1998) *''The Big One: The Great Los Angeles Earthquake'' (1990) *''[[Crack in the World]]'' (1965) *''[[The Day the Earth Caught Fire]]'' (1961) *''Deathquake'' (1980) *''Deep Core'' (2000) *''[[Descent (2005 film)|Descent]]'' (2005) *''[[Deluge (film)|Deluge]]'' (1933) *''[[Earthquake (film)|Earthquake]]'' (1974) *''[[Epicenter (disambiguation)|Epicenter]]'' (2000) *''[[Epoch (film)|Epoch]]'' (2001) **''Epoch: Evolution'' (2003) *''Nature Unleashed: Earthquake'' (2004) *''The Night the World Exploded'' (1957) *''Quake'' (1993) *''[[The Rains of Ranchipur]]'' (1955) *''[[San Francisco (film)|San Francisco]]'' (1936) *''Short Walk to Daylight'' (1972) *''Tidal Wave: No Escape'' (1997) ====[[Volcanoe]]s==== *''[[Dante's Peak]]'' (1997) *''[[The Devil at 4 O'Clock]]'' (1961) *''[[Dragon Head]]'' (2003) *''[[End Day]]'' (2005) *''[[The Island at the Top of the World]]'' (1974) *''[[Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959 film)|Journey to the Center of the Earth]]'' (1959) *''[[Krakatoa, East of Java]]'' (1969) *''The Last Days of Pompeii'' (1935) *''Magma: Volcanic Disaster'' (2006) *''Nature Unleashed: Volcano'' (2004) *''[[Pompeii: The Last Day]]'' (docudrama) (2003) *''[[Supervolcano (docudrama)|Supervolcano]]'' (docudrama) (2005) *''[[Volcano (film)|Volcano]]'' (1997) *''[[The Volcano Disaster (film)|The Volcano Disaster]]'' (2004) *''Volcano: Fire on the Mountain'' (1997) *''[[When Time Ran Out (film)|When Time Ran Out...]]'' (1980) *''Disaster Zone: Volcano in New York'' (tv) (2006) ===Hydrological disasters=== ====[[Flood]]s and [[tidal wave]]s==== *''[[Killer Wave (mini series]]'' (2007) *''[[10.5 (TV series)|10.5]]'' (2004) *''[[10.5: Apocalypse]]'' (2006) *''Condominium'' (1980) *''[[The Dam Busters (film)|The Dam Busters]]'' (1954) *''[[The Day After Tomorrow]]'' (2004) *''[[The Day the Earth Caught Fire]]'' (1961) *''[[Daylight (film)|Daylight]]'' (1996) *''[[Deep Impact (film)|Deep Impact]]'' (1998) *''[[Deluge (film)|Deluge]]'' (1933) *''[[Earthquake (film)|Earthquake]]'' (1974) *''Flood (2007) *''Flood!''
