Description: THE BIG ONE: THE GREAT LOS ANGELES EARTHQUAKE was originally a 2-part TV movie that aired on the NBC network in 1990. On its initial release to home video, "Earthquake" was edited down to 106 minutes. The version presented here is the original 177 minute film (four hours minus commercials and filler). The cast is flush with many familiar '80s TV series faces, like Joanna Kerns, Ed Begley Jr., Alan Autry, Clarence Gilyard Jr. and Dan Lauria. In this well-done disaster story, members of the US Geological Survey try to predict whether Los Angeles will get slammed by "The Big One." The anticipated "who lives/who dies?" results are powerful and quite moving at times. As a seismologist, Dr. Winslow (Joanna Kerns) is convinced that the series of small quakes in LA are leading to the "Big One" She has to decide whether or not to divulge the devastating news when a reporter releases the story. Mass hysteria, confusion result. Film is a realistic look at the death, destruction and fear that befalls a city under siege by Mother Nature as well as the strength of the human spirit to survive.
