National Response Plan.

Back in the eighties the DCPAwas tasked with...

creating a Crisis Relocation Plan...

Designed to evacuate citizens from urban centres

in the event of a nuclear attack.

...Right, and if we continue to fund the programm

update it with regular drills the catastrophes

we faced during...

hurricanes Rita and Katrina could have

been mitigated.

The sad fact is we didn't and the crisis

we're facing now,

makes Katrina look like a walk in the park.

You want me to resurrect CRP?

I need you to look at the research

it was based on and...

adapt it for something different and

far greater in scope.

Thas our starting point.

Urban or rural evacuations?

Both. Multiple locations.

Cities, towns, it could be north, south,

east or west,

it might be a concentrated geographic area,

it could well be scattered over many states.

Gregorski, I want you to put together a plan

to move 100 million people.

Rumours from Los Alamos, New Mexico

suggest that...

recorded earth tremors are in fact

nuclear calibration tests.

At Houston leaks suggest that...

engineers are secretary adapting rockets to

deliver warheads to deflect Gibden-Bell A.

Injust two days, Voyager Seven will start

beaming back information...

on the precise trajectory of the comet chain,

informations NASA scientists insist will be...

critical to the success of any future mission.

There's a story that Eisenhower instructed that...

for every five miles of highway they built,

it was mandatory that at least one mile be

absolutely straight.

Well, thas a myth, but I did some digging

around...

and what is true is that Congress considered using

a flight strip programme

in their Federal Aid Highway Act of 1944,

and that got me thinking.

Besides utilising all the military and commercial

air bases on the West Coast,

why should we not also use ourfreeways and...

use them as improvised landing strips?

Now this here is a map of the Utah desert.

Interstate 80...

mile after mile of straight road.

Can you work this up state by state?

We're already doing it. Of course some parts

are not feasible...

and they will require several levels of

adaptation,

bulldozing the central reservations,

removing power lines and signs.

Reinforcing the ground to take the weight of

small aircraft,

but if we have to move people fast

we can move them, and en masse.

Our roads become our runways.

Thas the idea.

Injust 12 hours, Voyager Seven will start

its analysis of comet Gibden-Bell.

Reports of military activity on several continents

appears to confirm that...

a nuclear deflection strategy is moving into

an advanced stage.

Evacuation capacity index.

Our 37 largest urban areas.

How is the index calculated?

Traffic flow, highway capacity,

accessibility to cars.

The report also shows information on

the transit dependent.

How bad is that?

Those 20 cities will be harderto evacuate than...

New Orleans was after Katrina.

Are you saying is impossible?

Nothing's impossible. We'll have

international help, offers are flooding in.

Les get it ready.

The world holds its collective breath as

the comet Gibden-Bell,

the single most terrifying threat that mankind has

faced is revealed forthe very first time.

These simple somewhat hypnotic pictures live

from the probe Voyager Seven show...

the comet chain in all its terrible beauty.

Only now will we learn the true nature of

the threat that we all face.

Entire nations have come to a standstill.

Factories, offices, schools, all closed

...as people gaze in awe at the simple images that

we see here.

The comet chain, Gibden-Bell as

it hurtles towards the earth.

Pasadena... lost transmission.

Please confirm.

Land impact confirmed, civil unrest breaks out.

Curfew imposed from dusk til dawn,

...as America wakes up to the news.

Unless scientists can stop it,

comet Gibden-Bell will hit North America.

The probe was destroyed before it had a chance

to feed back any data,

the official announcement will be made tomorrow,

but I wanted you all to hear it first hand.

The decision has been made to go ahead with

the nuclear deflection strategy...

scheduled for six o'clock tomorrow.

Doing nothing is unacceptable.

I can't sell your solution to the President,

and he can't sell it to the American people.

My responsibility is to protect

the United States of America.

And who's gonna protect the rest of the world when

the comet splits up into a thousand pieces?

If it breaks up,

and ain't we all part of the same planet?

What is wrong with you people?

It is so clearly betterto go into the

terrible situation with a known risk than...

to take an alternative with

an ambiguous outcome...

where the hazards are much worse for Americans

and the whole world

and General with all due respect if you weren't

so worried about your career...

- then you could sell this to the President...

- Neil.

Get him outta here.

...you could sell it to the President.

- Someone get him outta here.

- You could sell it to the President...

- Get him outta here...

Forget it Brendan, just forget it.

This report here pertains to gold reserve

transfer, art and items of a cultural interest...

here, for instance here sir, we have an example of

plans to dismantle relocate the Statue of Liberty.

My recommendation is that we allocate the bulk of

our resources into saving our people.

Of course.

Well we've also made provisions for

animal preservation and transportation,

cattle, sheep and swine movements will have

to be assessed, that is here sir...

The President has given his go-ahead for

the nuclear option.

I understand.

But if that should fail, God hope it doesn't,

then this plan will be invaluable.

This is good work.

Professor Gant, isn't it?

We met in Ireland briefly at Shannon Airport,

your, yourfellow compatriot?

Yeah right.

What are you doing in the road there's

a curfew on, they'll pick you up. Get in.

This is brilliant. Thank you, thanks.

It could really do this huh?

They could really pull this off.

Are you sure the deflection plan will backfire?

No. It could work...

but in my opinion there is a far greater

probability that it won't,

based on all the information that we have and...

especially everything that we don't have.

I am 100 percent convinced that

the deflection strategy is the wrong way to go.

The outcome of this is still in your hands Neil.

You'vejust gotta persuade General Harris to

go against every military bone in his body.

Oh is that all?

Yes thas all. Listen, you'vejust gotta come up

with something,

you've gotta give him something, I don't know

what, some intel, pictures, reports, just somethin

Arecibo.

Whas that?

Oh Neil, I'm such an idiot. Arecibo is

an observatory in Puerto Rico,

Josh was trying to get images up before,

there's still a chance they might have some

radar images, can you drive me somewhere please?

World leaders meet to discuss the

impending comet threat.
