Dwayne Johnson leads this natural disaster actioner as a search and rescue helicopter pilot who teams up with his ex-wife to find their missing daughter after a magnitude 9 earthquake tears into California. From the director of Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.
There’s a scene all modern blockbusters seem to have where someone runs from a falling structure while computer generated debris falls all around them and they miraculously escape un-squished. San Andreas takes that idea and stretches it out to feature length, but to its credit manages to inject enough pathos to stay engaging.
