The film concentrates on the collision of tectonic plates which causes the central plate supporting Japan to break apart. As a result, Japan will break apart and sink into the Pacific Ocean in 338 days, greatly affecting the rest of the earth’s geographical structure and possibly destroying the rest of the counties around the world.

As an earthquake shakes the country, Toshio (Tsuyoshi Kusanagi) saves a girl from the disaster. They are then rescued by Reiko (Kou Shibasaki) in a helicopter. Amidst the vast destruction, the government is left to try to salvage the country. Yusuke (Etsushi Toyokawa) discovers that Japan is on an unstable central plate and will sink within a year.

With the instability of the tectonic plates; earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis continue to hit Japan and the neighboring countries. The government is forced to attempt to evacuate the population of Japan as the death toll mounts. Many surrounding countries refuse to take the influx of Japanese refugees. Millions of citizens flee to Japan’s mountainous highlands. Toshio wants to escape Japan to the United Kingdom, but Reiko sees fleeing as cowardice and tries to rescue more people in Japan. Instead, they try to devise a way to save Japan from totally sinking.

Toshio volunteers to take a submarine down and arm a set of bombs alongside the undersea fault to stop the center plate from collapsing. If he succeeds, he will save the entire human race, but if he fails—Earth is doomed to destruction.

Naruto: Shippūden the Movie (Trailer)

Naruto the Movie 4Demons that once almost destroyed the world are revived by someone. To prevent the world from being destroyed, the demon has to be sealed and the only one who can do it is the shrine maiden Shion from the country of demons. She has two powers: one is sealing demons and the other is predicting the deaths of humans. This time Naruto’s mission is to guard Shion, but she predicts Naruto’s death. The only way to escape it is to get away from Shion, which would leave her unguarded, and then the demon, whose only goal is to kill Shion will do so, thus meaning the end of the world. Naruto, rather than put the world at stake, decides to challenge this “prediction of death”.

“Looks like a cool movie. But I can’t believe Naruto dies in it. I think it will have some twist in this movie. Everyone knows naruto IS NOT gonna die.ecause Naruto is the main character in the story if he dies there will be no naruto will be airing ♥ (ha..ha..ha..).”
