Supernova

A scientific possibility becomes a terrifying reality when the most powerful force in the universe comes closer to home. Nobel Prize winning scientist Dr. Austin Shepard (Golden Globe winner Peter Fonda, Back When We Were Grownups) suddenly disappears from the Space Propulsion Labs. His assistant Ginny McKillip (Clemency Burton-Hill, La Femme Musketeer), a seasoned news reporter Laurie Stephenson (Emma Samms, General Hospital), and fellow astrophysicist Christopher Richardson (Luke Perry, Beverly Hills, 90210) must then investigate some shocking data left behind. Joe Handey (Ronald Pickup,Lolita), Managing Director of SPL & National Intelligence Special Agent Lisa Delgado (Tia Carrere, True Lies) fear that Shepard has been selling his top-secret Solar Probe discoveries & gone into hiding. Actually, Shepard has retreated to an island paradise with the lost love of his life where he's planning to spend his final days. Shepard knows something that everyone else will soon discover for themselves: After eons of existence, the sun is set to explode in a supernova that will bring about the end of the world in seven days. Already electromagnetic pulses are being blamed for a series of phenomena across the globe: locust swarms in Hong Kong, massive blackouts and freakish electrical storms, high frequency radiation bursts, and total loss of telecom satellite capability. Then fireballs vaporize the western states, the Sahara Desert is turned into a wasteland of black noxious gas, and a boiling tidal wave engulfs Australia. The President of the United States tries to quell the worldwide panic from an underground bunker where he's orchestrating a Noah's Ark for the new millennium. Shepard's team of survivors race against time to find the single saving grace to stop the predictions of apocalypse from coming true. Blazing visual effects and intense human drama ignite in Supernova, a fiery miniseries event that really delivers on thrills.
