Synopsis: Colton West, a once popular movie star and action hero from the 90s, is now reduced to acting in low-budget movies about horrific bugs. The old days of glamour and stardom, seem to be long forgotten and now Colton, the star of "Red Rocket", is having problems with the law, facing assault charges. On his way home after filming some scenes for his last action movie, Colton gets stuck in traffic and all of a sudden, a swarm of earthquakes hits Southern California, shaking the L.A. basin. To make matters worse, a volcanic eruption of the Santa Monica Mountains will lead to events of unprecedented scale, as chaos, panic and lava emerging from big gas-smelling gapes, begin to appear everywhere in town. On top of that, a new breed of lava-breathing arachnids are forcing a mandatory emergency evacuation of the city, so the need for Colton to go downtown and find his family is greater than ever. Armed with a shotgun and the will to survive, once more this intrepid man of action will have to do

This is how

they get around.

This is where

they come out.

It's all over L.A.

Right here,

this large chamber,

that's where

the queen is.

Okay.

If this map is accurate--

and it is--

that's no more than

just a few blocks away.

That's right.

Those canisters

of liquid nitrogen,

we need to wrap

bombs around them.

Can you do that?

I still have

a few dozen sticks

of C-4 around.

I don't see that

as a problem.

And we could

detonate them

by remote.

Can you do that?

Not a problem.

If we make enough

of these canisters

and drop them down

in the open craters,

then we can

detonate them,

and we can smoke

this queen right

out of the nest.

Can you do that?

Not a problem.

Not a problem.

I--I don't know much

about this sort

of thing,

but this queen,

she's gonna be

a lot bigger than

the others, right?

Yeah,

she's gonna be huge.

And really pissed.

So, what,

we kill the queen?

Where does that

even get us?

Oh, no, no.

What--What he's saying,

it's--it's

a hive mentality.

You see, um,

if you kill the queen,

you kill them all.

It's--It's like

on the Insect Channel.

That's right.

I hate bugs.

Let's kill the b*tch.

Ladies and gentlemen,

tonight I call upon you,

the good people

of the motion picture industry.

It is you who works tirelessly

12, 14, 16 hours a day...

giving pints and pints of

your blood for our great nation.

Yes, some might say

it's just entertainment,

but we know better.

Our movies are where

the hopes and dreams

of this great nation are born.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I'm chagrined to say

that tonight might be

our last production,

but I beseech you,

please think another way.

Tonight is our opening night.

Tonight is the night

that we save our city,

our homes, our families,

that we believe in a tomorrow,

a tomorrow where the Lakers

have another threepeat.

What about

the Clippers?

Clippers, too.

A tomorrow where the Kings

sip again from the Stanley Cup.

What about

the Ducks?

The Ducks, too.

And a tomorrow

where the Dodgers,

only the Dodgers,

win the World Series.

Ladies and gentlemen,

tonight I ask you

to unify as a city,

above the line, below the line.

Tonight we draw the line.

This is your city.

This is my city.

I was born in this city.

I'm gonna die in this city,

but not tonight!

Viva Los Angelenos!

Viva Los Angelenos!

Yeah, yeah,

yeah, yeah, baby!

Yeah, that's what I'm

talking about, man!

Whoo! Whoo!

Al i run it off.

Okay.

All right.

I got this.

Colt. Colt.

Yeah, Marty.

Yeah.

Listen.

I've been thinking

about this.

Mm-hmm. Yeah?

The queen.

You've gotta get

really close to take her out,

and bullets

aren't gonna do it.

You need an explosion,

and you know what happens

if she explodes?

It's a death wish

for anyone nearby.

Okay. So let's

use a remote.

It's moving,

and it's very hot.

Who's gonna

slap it on, anyway?

And besides, remember,

this is C-4.

That stuff's

gonna go off by itself,

like it or not.

So how long?

10, 20 seconds tops.

Look, man, that was

a really good speech,

but, um--oh, oh,

okay, great speech,

but we're gonna need

more than speeches.

Just make sure

those bombs go off.

Oh, we will.

You both just stay

here, and you'll

be safe, okay?

Okay.

And, Wyatt,

I'm counting

on you, okay?

Okay.

You be a good boy.

I will.

You watch your mother.

All right.

Promise me

you'll come back.

I promise.

Okay.

Don't worry.

And how 'bout you?

You want to go

to a Dodger game

when I come back?

Yeah.

Hate to interrupt

a family moment,

but it's go time.

Okay.

Okay.

All right.

I love you.

It's gonna be okay.

This is alpha.

We are nearing

the first drop.

The first bomb is away.

Roger that.

This is Bravo team.

We're nearing

the second crater.

Two is away.

Repeat, two is away.

We'll show them,

stupid spider,

good kung fu

fighting technique.

It is eerily quiet

on the streets of Los Angeles

as the greater

metro area smolders

under the crippling

volcanic eruptions

and the onslaught

of lavalantulas

that have been thrust up

from their nest,

decimating everything

in their path.

Now the residents

that were evacuated earlier

are long gone,

hopefully to safety.

Those who remain are

hunkered down under martial law.

Let me tell you,

even though this small area

might seem safe for now,

no one inside the city

and the ring of fire are safe.

Rescue efforts are

still being hindered,

so all of these brave residents,

all they can do is

sit and wait and pray.

Keep it moving.

Keep it moving.

Hey, man, I'm gonna

need some backup.

There's lots

of spiders here.

Don't worry, Teddy.

Cavalry's

on its way.

All right, now.

I'm here. Come on!

Come on! Come on!

I got something

for you and your mama!

Take that! Come on!

Ah! Ah!

I need some help here.

I need some help!

Full power.

Oh.

Oh.

Hoo.

Move it! Move it!

Oh, guys...

Come on,

come on, come on!

Teddy.

Come on!

Come on.

Come on,

you suckers.

Come on.

Come on. Come on.

What?

They're gone.

Well, it worked,

didn't it?

Yeah.

Okay.

What's the plan, Colt?

Uh, you know

how we always say

that making a film

is like war?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, let's hope that this war

is like making a film.

What does that mean?

Means I need you

to plant those bombs.

Okay, but what

does that mean?

Means I need you

to plant those bombs.

Where are you going?

What are you doing?

Colton!

Colt! Come back here, Colt .44!

Come back here!

Uh, your attention please.

Colton has gone rogue.

Everybody keep going.

The plan remains the same.

Repeat, it remains

the same, all right? Out.

What is he doing?

He's just being

your father.

I don't--

Keep moving, laddies.

We've got to win this one.

Freedom!

Damn it!

Marty. Marty.

Come in, Marty.

There you are, man.

Hey, where are you?

Exactly where are you?

You'll know in a little bit.

What's our status?

You got

those bombs planted?

Red 3 standing by.

Red 2 standing by.

Red 5 standing by.

R2, shut up.

I'm busy, man.

Standing by, man.

Great.

I'm counting on you,

Marty.

I'm counting on you.

We gonna be

all right, Colt.

You just make sure

you don't get dead.

Colt, I really hope

you're there,

'cause if you've got a plan,

now's the time.

Yeah, I got a plan.

It's go time.

Go time?

Go where time?

What--Where are you?

I found a little party

I want to drop in on.

Make some music, Teddy.

On my mark,

3, 2, 1.

We're rolling.

Oh.

One didn't go off.

Push it again.

I'm pushing it.

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, my...

Load up.

Load up.

- Yah!

- What the...

Yah!

Incoming!

Incoming!

Let's go! Go! Go! Go!

Go!

Take 'em out!

Over there.

Tighten the flank!

Tighten the flank!

Don't let 'em through!

Hold 'em!

Back up. Back up!

Hold the line.

Come on.

Hold the line!

Watch your flank!

Watch your flank, guys!

Tighten it up!

Tighten it up!

That's it! Spray 'em!

Ah...

What we gonna do?

How am I gonna spray that, man?

She's bigger than

the damn buildings.
