Legend has it that Changbai Mountain was an active volcano in ancient times. Every time it erupted, it would be a charcoal. The gods couldn’t bear the scene, and a tear fell. The water pearl fell on the top of the mountain, forming a Tianchi to hold down the volcanic lava. From then on, the volcano no longer erupted. Changbai Mountain has also become vibrant and full of flowers and plants. I don’t know when a spiritual fox was born in the mountains.

Volcanologist Harry Dalton comes to the sleepy town of Dante's Peak to investigate the recent rumblings of the dormant volcano the burg is named for. Before long, his worst fears are realized when a massive eruption hits, and immediately, Harry, the mayor and the townspeople find themselves fighting for their lives amid a catastrophic nightmare.

With stunning views of eruptions and lava flows, Werner Herzog captures the raw power of volcanoes and their ties to indigenous spiritual practices.
