Tidal Wave DVD - DVD

A popular vacation spot on the south coast of Korea, Haeundae draws visitors from all over the country. During it's peak season, more than a million vacationers pack onto it's narrow one-mile strip of sand. Marine geologist Kim discovers the Korean East Sea is showing signs of activity similar to that of the Indian Ocean Tsunami in 2004. Arriving in Haeundae to warn the authorities, he runs into his ex-wife who is accompanied by their 7-year-old daughter whom he has never met, consequently stirring up various emotions. In the meantime, a giant tidal wave is created and headed straight for Haeundae where the vacationers enjoy a summer day, unknowing of the 500 MPH destructive force of nature headed their direction.

The very day he's about to drive his family to a new life in the city, geologist Kristian Elkjord senses something wrong with the mountain that overlooks his scenic town. No one wants to believe that this could be the big one, especially with tourist season at it's peak, but when a landslide from the Mountain sends tons of rock and earth crashing into the sea, everyone has ten minutes to outrace the resulting tsunami to higher ground in this thrilling action spectacular.

Director Tony Scott's tense action-thriller that is set aboard an American nuclear submarine and centers upon the philosophical fight between an aging, traditional-minded captain and his new executive officer, a Harvard graduate, who while well-grounded in tactical theory, has never been involved in a military conflict. Starring Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman. Running time 115 minutes.
