Greenland, directed by Ric Roman Waugh, is an intense disaster thriller that balances breathtaking action with deeply emotional storytelling. The film follows the Garrity family—John (Gerard Butler), Allison (Morena Baccarin), and their diabetic son Nathan (Roger Dale Floyd)—as they navigate a desperate struggle for survival when Earth faces annihilation from a massive comet named Clarke.

Initially dismissed as harmless, Clarke’s fragments begin wreaking havoc across the globe with catastrophic impacts. The largest fragment, capable of causing an extinction-level event, is on a collision course with Earth. Amid the chaos, John receives a government alert that his family has been selected for evacuation to a secret bunker in Greenland. This revelation triggers envy and desperation among their community, further complicating their already perilous journey.

Their path to safety is a harrowing ordeal, fraught with riots, looters, and separations. Each step tests their courage and determination, highlighting the strength of familial bonds in the face of overwhelming odds. The film’s climax sees the Garritys racing against time to reach the Greenland shelter as the comet’s largest fragment impacts Earth, unleashing cataclysmic destruction.

Emerging months later from the underground shelter, the survivors are met with a desolate but hopeful world, symbolizing the resilience of humanity and the promise of a new beginning.
