Add to a movie listSolar Attack (also called Solar Strike) is a 2006 television film by Lions Gate Entertainment, starring Mark Dacascos, Joanne Kelly and Louis Gossett Jr..
Solar Attack concerns large coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that cause the Earth's atmosphere to burn, potentially suffocating all life on Earth. All of this happens during a time of political tension between the United States and Russia. Disaster is eventually averted by the detonation of nuclear missiles at the poles, releasing vapor that extinguishes the burning methane caused by the CMEs.
The film bears a number of similarities to the 1961 film: Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.
Synopsis
While a solar probe operated by the fictional Solar and Near Earth Laboratory (SNEL) is obtaining data, a large CME or solar flare destroys the probe. A manned spaceplane, Galileo, is caught in the CME and destroyed; the tragedy is blamed on bad Russian equipment. CMEs knock satellites out of orbit, turning them into deadly meteors, and a CME hits New Zealand, destroying it and turning it into a huge mass of molten rock.Actors

Dans le futur, en 2012, un cataclysme inconnu a plongé le monde dans une chaleur accablante où les rares survivants se sont regroupés en petites communautés. La ville de New York n'est plus qu'une métropole fantôme. Les rares survivants vivent en bandes organisées dans des quartiers isolés et fortifiés et tentent désespérément de trouver de la nourriture. La communauté du Baron (Max von Sydow) est harcelée par la meute du redoutable Rouquin (William Smith). Devant la menace, sans cesse grandissante, le Baron décide de faire appel à un étranger, Carson (Yul Brynner), un mercenaire impitoyable armé d'un couteau. L'affrontement entre l'homme de main et le Rouquin devient, peu à peu, inévitable.

The film takes place in a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles, which is overrun by zombie-like, cannibalistic humans who have degenerated into a feral subspecies as the result of a genetic infection. The film does not make clear if the virus has infected the entire world, or just a small, isolated area, but it is suggested that it is global by the inability of the hero, Renchard (Mark Dacascos), to locate radio signals or contact anyone via the Internet.

The US east coast is suddenly struck by a type of a massive destructive force of nature usually only happening after a major earthquake in the Pacific and Indian ocean rims: tidal waves of the destructive tsunami type. Scientist and fiction author John McAdams is forced to attend a type of Department of Homeland Security conference which concludes the phenomenon must be man-made, quite possibly abusing the findings of John's secret former Sea Lion project, but leaves questions of who wants to and has the means unanswered. Indeed John and his colleague Sophie, a Québécois, soon find John set up for a murder of a potential whistleblower and are pursued by The FBI,Maine State Police and a pair of foreign ruthless assassins. Major destruction means major contracts for construction and coastal defenses, so building tycoons like Victor Bannister certainly have a considerable interest. The movie is two part mini-series originally aired in The UK . Sophie(Karine Vanasse), a very successful Québécois Canadien actress and singer but generally unknown to viewers outside of Canada and France, was recently cast as a lead in the American ABC TV series "Pan Am.
