Released in 2020, Greenland is a gripping American disaster film that delves into the harrowing realities of a global cataclysm brought about by a meteor strike. Directed by Ric Roman Waugh and written by Chris Sparling, the film features a notable cast including Gerard Butler, Morena Baccarin, Roger Dale Floyd, Scott Glenn, David Denman, and Hope Davis. Through its compelling narrative and intense action sequences, Greenland explores themes of survival, family, and resilience in the face of imminent extinction.

Greenland is set against the backdrop of an impending global disaster caused by a series of meteors on a collision course with Earth. The story follows John Garrity (Gerard Butler), a structural engineer, and his family as they navigate the chaos and danger brought on by the catastrophic events.

The film opens with the discovery of a massive comet named “Clarke,” which is expected to disintegrate and shower Earth with debris. As scientists predict devastating impacts, governments around the world scramble to prepare for the catastrophe. John and his wife Allison (Morena Baccarin), along with their young son Nathan (Roger Dale Floyd), receive an invitation to a government-controlled bunker in Greenland, which is one of the few places deemed safe from the impending disaster.

The narrative unfolds with the Garrity family’s desperate journey to reach the bunker. Along the way, they face numerous obstacles including widespread panic, societal breakdown, and personal conflicts. As the comet fragments begin to strike various locations around the world, the family’s struggle to stay together and secure their place in the bunker becomes increasingly dire.
