- Synopsis
- A volcanologist forlorn over the loss of his wife in the Mt. Pinatubo eruption arrives at a small Pacific Northwest town to investigate the rumblings of the local dormant volcano. Though he instantly fears the worse, he must convince the skeptical townspeople and his suspicious superiors who believe he is overreacting in the aftermath of his own tragedy. The beautiful, widowed mayor of the picturesque town believes him, however, and soon they find themselves in a fight for their lives as "Dante's Peak" blows its stack ten miles high, raining ash and fire over everything in its shadow. The Signature Collection Special Edition laserdisc includes added commentary by the director and production designer, a behind-the-scenes documentary, and an isolated score.
- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The special effects are suitably catastrophic, though they aren't much more clever than the computer tricks that turn up in beer commercials these days"
-
"It has its moments, but most of them are concentrated in the final forty-five minutes. The first hour is interminable."
-
"Dante's Peak is customary for the genre, with convincing special effects sharing screen time with standard-issue characters and situations."
-
"As boring as the special effects are, they far outshine the stultifying plot"
-
"Too bad that by the time the volcano shoots its wad, the movie has already died a thousand deaths, ground to a halt by the interminable waiting for the damn thing to blow"
