Cameras captures large-scale volcanoes, earthquakes, and storms as a team of scientists travel the world in an attempt to figure out what causes these dangerous, yet undeniably thrilling natural occurrences. Viewers will surely be swept up by the ride as the team encounters tornadoes, hurricanes, quakes, and volcanic eruptions more impressive and frightening than they could have ever predicted. Intense music adds to the drama and suspense as each team member risks their life in one daring task after another. Putting their lives on the line in the name of scientific discovery, the experts forge their way through erupting pits, through volcanic flows, along fault lines, and in cars heading straight for tornados' eyes.

Reviews for National Geographic - Forces of Nature
This 50-minute tour of three of nature's great disasters will leave you shaken. Sometimes literally.
An entertaining but frustratingly brief look at the way earthquakes, tornadoes and volcanoes affect humanity.
Forces of Nature doesn't just show nature at its angriest; this film explains how and why as well. It's a highly entertaining way to learn valuable lessons.
Often breathtaking, Forces of Nature reminds us of the true meaning of global power.
Great images, to be sure, but there are just not enough of them, and too many static shots of researchers confabbing over instrument panels.
While occasionally dry and over-reliant on computer-generated visualizations of the Earth's core and tectonic plates, this documentary's impressive footage of natural disasters is nothing short of amazing.
Puts audiences extremely close to a series of deadly disasters of the type most of us just read about.
If you're a person who thinks 'severe weather advisory' means 'time to sit on the porch and watch the lightning,' you'll go for Forces of Nature.
While the Hollywood movie cooked up its killer weather on special-effects computers, these are real.
With the spectacular opening of Forces of Nature, narrated by Kevin Bacon, IMAX outdoes Hollywood's fanciest effects wizards.
