This prime example of the Seventies cycle of disaster movies centres on the repercussions of a massive earthquake that rips Los Angeles apart. Amongst those attempting to restore order are construction engineer Stewart Graff (Charlton Heston) and streetwise cop Lew Slade (George Kennedy), whilst construction company owner Sam Royce (Lorne Greene) struggles to escape from his own devastated building.
