The movie

Set in Modern-Day New York City in 1999. An earthquake destroys Manhattan. The Big Apple is in ruins except the World Trade Center, Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, and the MetLife Building. New York City Fire Chief Thomas Ahearn (Tom Skerritt) teams up with mayor Bruce Lincoln (Charles S. Dutton) to save the destroyed city from destruction.
