Summary In this thriller from legendary filmmaker Werner Herzog, two ecologists working for the UN (Veronica Ferres and Gael Garcia Bernal) are sent to Bolivia to investigate rare geological formations in the area that could potentially pose eco-related dangers. Their environmental plight turns personal when they are kidnapped by a ruthless businessman, Matt Riley (Oscar nominee Michael Shannon, *Nocturnal Animals*), whose intentions are mysterious yet clearly nefarious. However, when a nearby supervolcano starts to show signs of erupting, they all must unite to escape disaster. Official Selection at the **Toronto International Film Festival**. *"In imbuing what might otherwise be a straight-forward environmental thriller with his signature sense of artistry, Herzog has succeeded in creating a film without parallel."--Arlin Golden, **Film Inquiry***
