PLOT
Set in the fictional town of Dante's Peak, Washington, located in the northern Cascade Mountains, the film is somewhat based on the real-life eruptions of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, Mount St. Helens in 1980 and Mount Pinatubo in 1991. The film begins with the eruption of an unnamed volcano in Colombia during which volcanologist Dr. Harry Dalton’s (Brosnan) fiancée, Marianne (Walker Brandt), is killed as the couple tries to evacuate.
Four years later, Dalton is tasked with investigating possible volcanic activity in the Northern Cascades mountain near the town of Dante's Peak, which has not erupted for 7,000 years. Later, two backpackers (David Lipper and Heather Stephens) are skinny dipping in a hot spring when the water begins to boil, killing the couple. In Dante's Peak, the town is receiving an award for being "The second most desirable place to live in the United States, population under 20,000" and celebrating its annual "Pioneer Days Festival". Harry meets mayor Rachel Wando (Hamilton) who, along with her children, Graham (Foley) and Lauren (Smith), accompany Harry to the mountain's "high lake" to check the water’s acidity. After checking the acidity and picking up the mayor's estranged ex-mother in-law, Ruth (Hoffman), the five of them head to the town's hot springs. Harry notices the water still bubbling and abruptly grabs Graham before he dives into the boiling water, startling the other four. Rachel's daughter soon spots the burnt bodies of the two dead backpackers.
