Trailer

In the aftermath of a major earthquake under Suraga Bay, Misaki and
Toshiro are rescued from a ruined city street just as leaking gasoline
ignites. Reiko Abe arrives just in time, lowered from a helicopter. Scientists
predict that Japan will sink within 40 years, due to subduction of a tectonic
plate to the west. However, Dr. Tadokoro, who leads an oceanic scientific
team that includes Toshiro, calculates that this will happen far sooner, in
only 338.54 days. He presents his findings to Prime Minister Yamamoto who
decides to create a new department for impending disaster relief assigning
Saoro Takamori to cover the new duties, since of all his ministers she will
take it seriously but also bring "heart" to the process. As further earthquakes,
tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions devastate Japan, the government pleads
with other countries to take refugees. Yamamoto flies to China to negotiate
relocations there, but his plane is destroyed by a volcanic eruption. Saoro
fills the resulting vacuum in leadership and decides that Dr. Tadokoro`s plan
to blow holes in the disintegrating tectonic tectonic plate is the best
remaining hope to not only save the people, but what remains of the country
itself. Ironically it was her career that hastened their divorce 20 years earlier.
Misaki becomes orphaned following her mother`s death from earthquake
injuries, and bonds with Reiko who was similarly rescued from, but
orphaned by the Kobe quake. Toshiro is offered a job in England and wants
Reiko and Misaki to come with him, but Reiko feels bound to help others and
refuses to leave. Fellow submarine pilot Shinji Yuki also turns down
Toshiro`s offer to work with him in England. Drillships place massive
explosives deep in the crust, but the detonator is not placed properly and
Yuki dies attempting to place it by submarine.
