Mark Dacascos stars in this thriller as Ryan Beckett, the man chosen to lead a team of experts who must destroy Los Angeles to avoid an enormous natural disaster that will have global repercussions. A nuclear accident has caused the earth's Teutonic plates to shift, creating earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in southern California and pushing the Pacific plate to its breaking point. After scientists determine that the only way to stop this is to detonate a nuclear bomb in L.A., Beckett and his team go in to accomplish the impossible. [More]

  • Scorcher
  • In the thrilling tradition of THE CORE and INDEPENDENCE DAY, SCORCHER stars Mark Dacascos (CRADLE 2 GRAVE, CHINA STRIKE FORCE), Rutger Hauer (CONFESSIONS OF A DANGEROUS MIND), and John Rhys-Davis (THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy, INDIANA JONES trilogy) in an action-packed adventure where extraordinary heroes take on the ultimate fight to save the world! In the wake of a horrible nuclear accident, devastating natural disasters abound as the Earth's massive tectonic plates shift violently and unnaturally. To stop the earthquakes and volcanic eruptions that are leading up to an inevitable doomsday catastrophe, scientists decide that a nuclear bomb must be detonated in Los Angeles! From there, the fate of the world and the safety of its inhabitants rest with Ryan Beckett (Dacascos) and his elite team, who must pull off this do-or-die race against time.
