In "The Core," geophysicist Dr. Josh Keyes (Aaron Eckhart) uncovers a dire crisis: the Earth's inner core has stopped spinning, causing the planet's magnetic field to collapse and triggering catastrophic effects on the atmosphere. To avert global disaster, Keyes teams up with Maj. Rebecca Childs (Hilary Swank) and a specialized group of scientists to embark on a perilous mission deep into the Earth's core. Their goal is to deploy a nuclear device to restart the core's rotation and save humanity.
Trivia:
1. The film's depiction of traveling to the Earth's core required innovative special effects, blending practical sets with CGI to create the intense underground environment.
2. Aaron Eckhart performed many of his action scenes himself, demonstrating his commitment to realistic portrayals.
3. The filmmakers consulted real geophysicists during production to add scientific credibility, even though creative liberties were taken for dramatic effect.
