'''''Dante's Peak''''' is a 1997 American [[disaster film]] directed by [[Roger Donaldson]], written by [[Leslie Bohem]], and starring [[Pierce Brosnan]], [[Linda Hamilton]], and [[Charles Hallahan]]. The film is set in the fictional town of Dante's Peak where the inhabitants fight to survive the [[Types of volcanic eruptions|eruption]] of a long dormant [[stratovolcano]] that has suddenly become active again. The film was released on February 7, 1997, under the production of [[Universal Pictures]] and [[Valhalla Entertainment|Pacific Western Productions]]. The release came just weeks prior to the similarly themed film, [[Volcano (1997 film)|''Volcano'']], starring [[Tommy Lee Jones]], which came out in April of the same year.

It is the third film collaboration between [[Gale Anne Hurd]] and Hamilton, who both previously worked in the [[The Terminator|first]] [[Terminator 2: Judgment Day|two]] ''[[Terminator (franchise)|Terminator]]'' films.

==Plot==
<!-- Per WP:FILMPLOT, plot summaries for featured film articles should be between 400-700 words. -->
In 1993, [[United States Geological Survey|USGS]] [[volcanologist]] Harry Dalton and his partner-turned-fiancée Marianne attempt to escape an ongoing [[Galeras tragedy|eruption]] in [[Colombia]]. As they venture out, a [[lava bomb]] smashes through the roof of the truck, killing Marianne.

Four years later, despite the trauma he suffered in the course of his employment, Harry is assigned by his superior, Dr. Paul Dreyfus, to investigate seismic activity near the town of Dante's Peak, [[Washington (state)|Washington]], which borders a [[stratovolcano]]. Harry meets Mayor Rachel Wando with her children, Graham and Lauren. Rachel offers to take Harry with them as they see her former mother-in-law Ruth, an elderly [[hermit]] who lives near the lake at the base of the [[volcano]].

While exploring, they find dead trees, dead [[squirrel]]s, and a couple of tourists boiled to death in a [[hot spring]]. Harry stops Graham from jumping into the spring upon seeing the bodies. Harry instructs Paul to bring a USGS team to monitor the volcano, but their initial survey finds no indications of volcanic activity. Paul advises against Harry putting the town on alert. Still, Harry tries to convince Rachel to prepare for a disaster.

One day, Harry examines the summit's crater until a rock slide traps his co-worker Terry, causing him to suffer a broken leg. Both men are rescued by a helicopter. Days go by showing no signs of any threat or activity. Paul decides that no danger is imminent, and the USGS team prepares to leave. When Harry says goodbye to Rachel, they discover that the town's water supply has been contaminated with [[sulfur dioxide]]. The following day, seismic readings and sulfur levels rise dramatically. Convinced that the volcano will erupt and with the [[National Guard (United States)|National Guard]] unavailable until the next day, Paul permits Harry to put the town on alert.

As a town meeting occurs at the high school, an earthquake strikes, and the eruption begins. Harry and Rachel retrieve the children, but they discover that they have gone to get Ruth, who refused to leave her home. Just as they reach the children and Ruth, a [[Lava|lava flow]] engulfs her cabin and destroys the vehicles both parties used to get there. The five attempt to flee across the lake in a motorboat, but sulfur-containing volcanic gases react with the lake water to make [[sulfuric acid]], which destroys the [[Outboard motor|motor]] and corrodes the boat's steel hull, sinking it just meters from the shoreline. Ruth jumps out of the boat to help it to shore, suffering fatal chemical burns in the process. Harry and the Wandos take a four-wheel-drive [[United States Forest Service|Forest Service ranger's]] truck to continue down the mountain and save Ruth's dog Roughy while crossing a lava flow.

Meanwhile, the National Guard helps the remaining townspeople and the USGS team evacuate. As they leave, a [[lahar]] created by the melting ice breaks the upstream dam. While the rest of the team gets across, Paul and his van fail to clear the bridge before it is washed away by the flood, throwing Paul overboard to his death.

Harry and the Wandos arrive at the remains of the town. Harry retrieves a [[Emergency locator beacon|distress radio beacon]] from the USGS workshop and learns that the volcano is due for one last eruption. The volcano then undergoes a cataclysmic [[lateral blast]], triggering a [[pyroclastic flow]] which obliterates everything in its path. With no way out of town, Harry and the Wandos reach an abandoned mine where Graham likes to hang out. The USGS team, watching the eruption from afar, presumes Harry to be dead. While inside the mine, Harry realizes he left the beacon in the truck. When he goes back for it, aftershocks cause rocks to fall. Harry suffers a broken arm and is trapped in the truck, but manages to activate the beacon.

Days later, Terry notices that the beacon has been activated, and the USGS dispatches search and rescue teams. Harry and the Wandos are freed from the mine, reunited with Harry's team, and airlifted out by helicopter. The volcano's upper half has been reduced to a [[Mount St. Helens]]–like [[volcanic crater]].

==Production==
[[Principal photography]] began on May 6, 1996. The film was shot on location in [[Wallace, Idaho]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=That's A Wrap After A Summer Of Filming In Wallace, Idaho, 'Dante's Peak' Heads Back To L.A. {{!}} The Spokesman-Review |url=https://www.spokesman.com/stories/1996/aug/04/thats-a-wrap-after-a-summer-of-filming-in-wallace/ |access-date=2024-09-06 |website=www.spokesman.com}}</ref>

Exterior shots of the Point Dume Post Office in [[Malibu, California]], were used as the USGS's David A. Johnston [[Cascades Volcano Observatory]] headquarters in [[Vancouver, Washington]]. The facility was named in honor of [[David A. Johnston]], a young scientist who had precisely predicted the volatility of the May 18, 1980, Mount St. Helens eruption and perished during the event.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/CVO_Info/framework.html|title=Establishing the David A.

The scene involving the geological robot and the trapped scientist was shot inside the crater of [[Mount St. Helens]], as evinced by a brief appearance of [[Mount Adams (Washington)|Mount Adams]], a dormant {{convert|12776|ft|m|adj=on}} peak {{convert|35|mi|km}} east of Mount St. Helens, as the film focuses on the scientists. The scene itself was actually filmed on the tarmac of [[Van Nuys Airport]], while the Mount Adams image was composited in later. While production of ''[[Air Force One (film)|Air Force One]]'' was taking place in some of the airport's hangars at the same time, the film crew occupied four buildings, which were two shooting stages and an additional two hangars.<ref name="20YearsAgo">{{cite web|url=https://vfxblog.com/2017/02/07/the-race-to-finish-dantes-peak-20-years-ago/|title=The race to finish Dante's Peak…20 years ago}}</ref> Production was completed on August 31, 1996.{{Citation needed|date=May 2025}}

Extensive visual effects surrounding certain aspects of the film, such as the lava and pyroclastic flows, were created by [[Digital Domain]], Banned from the Ranch Entertainment, and CIS Hollywood.<ref name="movies.yahoo.com">{{cite web|url=https://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1800275050/cast|title=''Dante's Peak'' (1997) - Cast and Credits - Yahoo!

==Music==
The original score was composed by two composers, [[James Newton Howard]] and [[John Frizzell (composer)|John Frizzell]]. Howard wrote the main theme (heard during the opening and ending titles) and a number of cues, while Frizzell wrote the bulk of the score.

Initially, Howard was set to compose the film by himself, but due to time constraints and scheduling issues, he hired Frizzell to pick up where he left off and finish the rest of the score.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://jonman492000.wordpress.com/2021/08/30/soundtrack-supplement-fifty-one/|title=SOUNDTRACK SUPPLEMENT FIFTY ONE.}}</ref>

During this time, Frizzell was a fairly new film composer, as he had recently produced the scores for a few movies such as ''[[Alien Resurrection]]'' and ''[[Beavis and Butt-Head Do America]]''.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Smith |first=Steven |date=November 27, 1997 |title='Alien' Tunes : John Frizzell, at home with MTV and the classics, scores the latest in sci-fi series. |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1997-nov-27-ca-58049-story.html |access-date=November 22, 2023 |website=Los Angeles Times |language=en-US}}</ref> ''Dante's Peak'' marked the second collaboration between Howard and Frizzell, following ''[[The Rich Man's Wife]]'' the previous year.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://soundtrackbeat.com/2021/09/04/soundtrack-release-dantes-peak-john-frizzell-james-newton-howard/|title=Soundtrack Release: Dante's Peak – John Frizzell & James Newton Howard}}</ref>

Thirty minutes of the score was released by [[Varèse Sarabande]]; the short album length being due to high orchestra fees at the time of release. An extended bootleg exists that contains almost the entire score. In 2021, Varèse Sarabande released a deluxe edition that contains the entire complete score and some alternates.

The contents of the CD release can also be found on the region 1 [[DVD]], and [[Blu-ray]] on an alternate audio track during the 'Creating a Volcano' documentary.

The "Main Titles" cue is also featured on Varèse's ''The Towering Inferno and Other Disaster Classics'' compilation album.

===Critical reception===
''Dante's Peak'' received mostly negative reviews compared to the generally mixed reviews of its rival. {{RT prose|30||33|The movie works when things are on fire, but everything else - from dialogue to characters - is scathingly bad.|ref=yes|access-date=July 3, 2025}} with an average score of 5/10. {{MC film|43|21|ref=yes|access-date=June 10, 2025}}

Both [[Siskel and Ebert]] had mixed feelings about the film. [[Gene Siskel]] gave it two and a half stars out of four and wrote, "It takes a full hour for the volcano to blow in ''Dante's Peak'', and when it does, the movie really starts to cook. The special effects of rivers of lava, snowstorms of volcanic ash and a river of acid water are top-notch. Can I recommend half of a movie?"<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1997-02-07-9702070247-story.html|title=IT TAKES AN HOUR FOR 'DANTE'S PEAK' TO START COOKING|first=Gene|last=Siskel|website=[[Chicago Tribune]]|date=7 February 1997|access-date=23 October 2023|archive-date=8 March 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200308183959/https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1997-02-07-9702070247-story.html|url-status=live}}</ref> [[Roger Ebert]] also gave the film two and a half stars out of four and wrote, "''Dante's Peak'' is constructed about as skillfully as a disaster movie can be, and there were times when I found it working for me, sort of. But hasn't this genre pretty much been played out to the point of exhaustion?"<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/dantes-peak-1997|title=Dante's Peak|first=Roger|last=Ebert|website=[[RogerEbert.com]]|date=7 February 1997|access-date=23 October 2023|archive-date=4 July 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230704192604/https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/dantes-peak-1997|url-status=live}}</ref>

Caroline Westbrook of ''[[Empire (magazine)|Empire]]'' said, "This is yet another one of those mindlessly enjoyable outings which eschews such unimportant details as plot or characterisation in favour of the biggest, flashiest special effects money can buy. ''[[Twister (1996 film)|Twister]]'' with lava, if you will."<ref>{{cite web |title=Dante's Peak Review |url=https://www.empireonline.com/movies/reviews/dante-peak-review/ |website=[[Empire (magazine)|Empire]] |date=January 1, 2000 |access-date=April 18, 2025}}</ref> Eric Brace for ''[[The Washington Post]]'' stated that "''Dante's Peak'' is predictable from start to finish, but the video-game style action and effects never let up long enough for you to remember how absurd it all is. It's a blast."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/style/longterm/movies/review97/dantespeakbrace.htm|title='Dante's' Hunka, Hunka Burnin' Rock}}</ref>

===Geologists' reception and educational purpose===
The film attracted geologists to create dedicated "information pages" to reach out to students interested in science, including the [[U.S. Geological Survey]] (USGS)<ref name="USGS1997">{{cite news|title=DANTE'S PEAK FAQ'S (frequently asked questions)|work=[[U.S. Geological Survey]]'s Volcano Hazards Program|date=1997-02-10|url=https://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/News/DantesPeak/dantes_peak.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19981202125109/http://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/News/DantesPeak/dantes_peak.html|archive-date=1998-12-02}}</ref> and the [[University of Maryland at College Park|University of Maryland]].<ref>{{cite news|title=A Geological Guidebook to Dante's Peak|work=Department of Geology, [[University of Maryland at College Park]]|date=1997–1998|first1=Phil |last1=Candela|first2=Phil |last2=Piccoli |url=http://www.geol.umd.edu/pages/facilities/lmdr/dante/dante.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19980623042355/http://www.geol.umd.edu/pages/facilities/lmdr/dante/dante.htm|archive-date=1998-06-23}}</ref> The [[fact-checking]] on [[U.S. Geological Survey|USGS]]'s information page concluded "in many but not all respects, the movie's depiction of eruptive hazards hits close to the mark".<ref name="USGS1997"/> On the other hand, two professors at the [[Lewis-Clark State College]] panned the movie for understating the negative effects of a possible [[false alarm]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Experts Say 'Dante's Peak' Has Hero, Bad Guy Mixed Up|newspaper=[[The Spokesman-Review]]|url=https://www.spokesman.com/stories/1997/feb/10/experts-say-dantes-peak-has-hero-bad-guy-mixed-up/ |date=February 10, 1997|access-date=October 21, 2019}}</ref>
