Geostorm
(5.00 / 2 votes)Everyone was warned
but no one listened.
A rise in temperature...
ocean patterns changed...
and ice caps melted.
They called it extreme weather.
They didn't know what
"extreme" was.
In the year of 2019...
hurricanes...
tornadoes...
floods...
and droughts...
unleashed a wave of destruction
upon our planet.
We didn't just lose towns...
or beachfronts.
We lost entire cities.
The East River swallowed
Lower Manhattan.
A heatwave killed
in just one day.
But in that moment...
facing our own extinction...
it became clear
that no single nation
could solve this problem alone.
The world came together as one.
And we fought back.
Scientists from 17 countries...
led by the U.S. and China...
worked tirelessly...
not as representatives
of their nations...
but of humanity.
They found a way
to neutralize the storms...
with a net of
thousands of satellites...
each deploying countermeasures...
designed to impact the
basic elements of weather...
heat, pressure, and water.
All overseen by the
International Space Station.
They gave the satellite net
a technical name...
put we all came
to call it "Dutch Boy"...
after the story of the child...
who plugged a dam
with his finger.
This is what saved us all.
It was built by a team
led by one man...
my father.
- Thanks, boss.
- Keep the change.
Uh, Jake Lawson. I have a...
Senate hearing, room 12.
Yeah.
Lawson?
- You're the Dutch Boy guy, right?
- Yeah.
Man, I need to shake your hand.
Oh, okay.
Tornado. Zap.
Blizzard. Zap.
Monsoon?
- Zap?
- Zap!
Everybody down here owes you,
Jake Lawson.
If you need anything,
you just ask.
will now hear from Jacob Lawson,
Climate ISS,
Chief Operations Coordinator.
he was nearly one hour late.
Yeah, sorry 'bout that, uh.
I literally had to fly in
from outer space.
Oh, here we go.
Mr. Lawson, we find ourselves
heading toward a crossroads.
As you know,
as per UN Resolution 28-14,
handing over control of Dutch Boy
to an international oversight
committee in three years.
This in spite of the fact that
Uh, excuse me, Senator,
I-I don't wanna slow things down.
It's just the you said, "we" built it?
Yes, indeed I did.
Because I know what I did.
I'm the guy that led the team
that built the station.
I was up there with a
international crew of 600 people...
not just Americans.
And I know all of their faces, but...
I don't remember yours.
We had a-a plumber up there.
Very clever, Mr. Lawson.
Yes, Dutch Boy was
an international effort.
And yes, it may one day,
very well belong to the world.
But until it does, we have
authority over its operation.
And we have authority over you.
And you have been
flouting that authority.
I-I have report after report here.
"Failure to follow procedures".
Numerous violations
of the chain of command.
And then, there was the
incident where you punched
a federal inspector in the face.
Well, your federal inspector
doesn't know
that a capacitor holds a charge
even when it's disconnected.
He was grabbing for the damn thing.
I saved his life.
You can make all the
excuses you want, Mr. Lawson.
But there's one thing
you cannot defend.
And that would be the day
and operational without our consent.
And what would that
have taken, Senator?
There were a series
of storms building
in Southeast Asia
and the North Atlantic
