In panischem Entsetzen fliehen die Menschen, doch es gibt kein Entrinnen vor dem rothglühenden Strom des Todes, der sich durch die Stadt schiebt, in U-Bahnschächte fließt und Wolkenkratzer umschließt. Der Leiter des Katastrophenschutzes Mike Roark und die attraktive Seismologin Amy Barnes sind die einzigen, die einen kühlen Kopf bewahren. In ihrer Hand liegt es, die Urgewalt der Natur zu besiegen oder Los Angeles dem Verderben zu überlassen...
