Image 1 / 1

Based on powerful, emotive eyewitness accounts and featuring spectacular CGI and live action, this two-hour dramatised documentary recreates the terror of the initial quake and the four days and nights of horror that followed. Featuring Maxwell Caulfield as Mayor Schmitz, The Great San Francisco Earthquake plunges viewers into the thick of the disaster to experience the intense human drama and the key moments of the catastrophe as they unfold.

The forces that devastated an entire city a century ago are still active and threaten San Francisco today. This film follows the most ambitious seismic research project in history, as a team of scientists drill directly through the San Andreas Fault to try and unlock its secrets before the next 'Big One' strikes.
