Arctic Blast is a 2010 Australian-Canadian disaster film directed by Brian Trenchard-Smith and starring Michael Shanks, Alan Andrews, Alexandra Davies, and Saskia Hampele. Filmed in Hobart,[1][2] its world premiere took place at the 2010 Canadian Film Festival in Sydney, at the Dendy Opera Quays cinema, on 4 August.[3]
Premise[edit]
The plot is centered on a colossal blast of heavily chilled mesosphere air spreading over the Earth after a solar eclipse, which (combined with the effects of environmental pollution), causes a hole to open in the ozone layer. The catastrophic event threatens to engulf the entire world in ice. As Hobart, Tasmania, is hit by the cold front with temperatures of below −70 °C, causing people to die almost instantaneously, physicist Jack Tate (Michael Shanks) tries to find a solution while protecting his family.
