Ice is a 1998 television disaster film starring Grant Show, Udo Kier, Flex Alexander and Eva La Rue. The film has a premise similar to The Day After Tomorrow , a science fiction disaster film released six years later. Although completely in English, it first premiered in Germany in 1998 before being aired on ABC in the United States in 2000. [1]
An increase in sunspot activity causes disastrous, long-term consequences for the Earth. Los Angeles is, just as the rest of the world, covered with a layer of ice and snow. The government has collapsed and everyone is on their own. Chaos and crime prevails. Together with scientist Dr. Kistler - who is certain that this is the onset of a new Ice Age and that these conditions will not pass for another decade - and a small group of survivors, LAPD officer Robert Drake leaves in the direction of Long Beach Harbor to meet with a government ship which will take them to Guam, where it is warmer.
On the way, Kistler’s car freezes over and then a police car accidentally hits him. Then the journey becomes a highly dangerous one. Moreover, what the treacherous Kistler has not told them is that the ship is only coming to pick him up.
