Hello my friendos! I am right here to pitch a "mature" movie. So basically, the movie will be about a town who has been searching for a huge wave coming to Smalltown (the town's name) and that is now a factum. In this movie, we will see a family who just moved to Smalltown and settles down there. However, the experienced geologist Joe Mason is suddenly in his life's worst nightmare. He is splitted from his family and is 10 minutes away from the huge wave. It will be a match for life before the most powerful nature powers hit land. That is the small description or "synopsis" of the movie. I'll explain it better below, check it out!

Firstly, you need to know that Joe Mason is a geologist and there is a mountain in Smalltown, called Okernue, who is looking to fall apart. Joe and his team have started a base and formed a team who are watching the mountain to make sure everything is okay.

The movie will start with Joe Mason celebrating at work where he has finished working. Later, he starts packing down his work office and is saying goodbye to his co-workers. In the next scene, we meet Joe's family which consists of his wife, Jessica Mason, their 10 year old daughter, Alex Mason and their 17 year old son, Charlie Mason. The Mason family have everything packed and is ready to leave, but suddenly Joe receives a phone call where he is told to come to the base which is a little bit up on the mountain. Joe goes up to the base and checks, but they can see that something is going on, but they can't figure out exactly what. Therefore, Joe and his family decide to stay for a few more days.

Joe and his son, Charlie, wants to spend some quality time together and goes fishing by the nearest lake. After a while they start to have a deep conversation when Charlie tells Joe: "I know Smalltown isn't the centre of the world, but at least it's safe. I am home." This makes Joe feel comfortable and appreciates Charlie telling him this. After a while, they end up back at home where Jessica is telling Joe that she is tired of Joe giving the mountain so much attention instead of focusing on her. Therefore, it will be good with coming to a new place. Joe remembers that he has to go outside finish something and he does that.

In the next scene, Joe is out fixing what he was going out for. But suddenly, a mock of birds are flying away from Smalltown while they are screaming. This gets Joe uncomfortable and calls to the base to check if everything is okay. The answer he gets from the base is that the censors are acting a bit strange. Next scene is at the mountain base where the computer is full of red lights and indicates a warning and danger. The base lost contact to the mountain and two people from the team takes a helicopter to the mountain the next day to figure out what is wrong.

There is a little house on the mountain where the helicopter can stand on top of it. They decide to stay there for the night to see if they can catch anything. In the middle of the night they start hearing noices and wants to check it out. The mountain as a big whole that splits it into two mountains and they go down the hole to check. Once they are down (in the middle of the night), the mountain starts to spread even more and the computer back at the base are screaming and a red warning sign is blinking on it. They realize an 80 meter high wave is coming to Smalltown.

Joe drives back to his home to check how Alex is doing. She is sleeping, but suddenly wakes up following a big shake in Smalltown which puts it all into action. When they hear an alarm going trough the whole city, they know the wave is only 10 minutes away from Smalltown. Joe puts his clock on 10 minutes and so does his wife, Jessica, who is currently at work on Hurra Hotel with their son, Charlie. Then the screen will show the wave falling down from the mountain and it is only a matter of time before there is no Smalltown anymore.

People are running to their cars to drive to the top of the mountain where they are safe. People drive like crazy and are doing everything in their power to get to the top in time. At the same time, the wave is getting closer. Joe calls Jessica to check if everything is okay and wants to stop by the hotel to rescue Jessica and Charlie, but Jessica tells Joe that the only thing that is important right now, is to get Alex in safety. The hotel have ordered a bus which will take them to the top of the mountain, but are dealing with getting all the hotel residents on board. Meanwhile, Jessica runs to the hotel room to find Charlie, but he is not there. She screams and looks everywhere for him, but can't find him any place.

The wave is now too close to Smalltown that people decide to leave their cars and run for the top after the traffic is not moving. Everyone gets out and runs for the top. The wave is too close and Joe gives his daughter, Alex, to someone who can take her to the top while he rescures her wife's best friend, Sara. They know that they won't make it, so they run to a car, gets inside, fastens their seat belt and hold each other's hands. Meanwhile, Jessica finally found Charlie in the basement of the hotel, but it is too late. They can see the water coming from the stairs and quickly in the room next door. The room is not locked and water is slowly getting in. After a while, the water has went all the way to the top and only their heads are hanging in a small space at the top.

After the wave has passed, Joe is hurt, but gets out of the car. He runs to the top to find Alex and she asks where mom and her brother is. Joe tells her that he will go and find them. Joe then goes on a trip through the city to find the broken hotel and looks everywhere for them. After a while, he finds the hotel. He gets inside and starts to look for them. He checks the rooms when he suddenly hear voices coming from unknown. He takes his head to his ground where he hears his wife, Jessica, screaming for help. He tells them that he is here and is ready to rescue them. He then goes down in the basement, but realizes that it's full of water. He gets out in the water and down the stairs, only to find the door locked. A stone is blocking the opening and he is trying to get it away, but has to go up to get some breath. He tries another time and this time he succeeds with removing the stone. However, he can't completely open the door, but when he sees his wife in the crack, he uses all his power to remove it.The room where his wife and son is, gets completely filled up with water and Charlie swims out and up from the water. Joe and Jessica finally reunites and kisses under water before they get up aswell.

The Mason family has now reunited with the exception of Alex. They all goes to the top of the mountain to see her and they all give each other a big hug when they get there. The movie ends with Joe telling his family that he loves them so much with the camera going away from the family so in the end we see the whole mountain before "THE END" appears on the screen.

Woop woop, sorry for that being so long. I got excited! For the characters, the Mason family are the main ones (Joe, Jessica, Alex and Charlie) along with the people at the mountain base which we will see often. Recurring characters will be citizens of Smalltown, the woman that Joe tries to rescue and his co workers at work. Tell me whatcha think! :D
