![]() ![]() Gosh, that's not the least bit suspicious at all! It also destroys the satellite, meaning they can't examine it for glitches. Once inside, the robotic arm goes crazy and whips around the hangar, nearly killing everyone. Jake and the crew use a robot grappler to bring the faulty Hong Kong satellite into the station to examine it. Did you get that? It's literally hot enough to fry and egg on the sidewalk! Thanks, movie! He looks down and is stunned to see the eggs frying. because it's Hong Kong?), and as he wipes his brow he accidentally drops a carton of eggs. He says a tearful goodbye to Hannah, as she makes him promise to return.Ĭut to Cheng Long, the head of Dutch Boy's Hong Kong division, as he exits a grocery store. Max appeals to the humanitarian in Jake, saying Dutch Boy's gone nuts and has the potential to kill millions. Max pleads with Jake to help, and he rightly so tells him to piss off. Max reluctantly drives out to Jake's trailer in Florida, where he lives with his daughter Hannah. Dekkom talks to Max, and says since Jake invented Dutch Boy, he's the only one who can fix it. President Andrew Palma (played by Andy Garcia) meets with his staff about these alarming incidents. Secretary Of State Leonard Dekkom (played by Ed Harris) says it was probably just a simple glitch in one of the Dutch Boy satellites that hovers over Afghanistan. He hides it in his locker for safe keeping, just as someone blows out all the windows in the room, causing Makmoud to be sucked into the vacuum of space. Meanwhile, onboard the Climate Space Station, an engineer named Makmoud accidentally discovers someone's sabotaging Dutch Boy for unknown reasons, and begins gathering evidence. Somehow all the inhabitants of the village have been inexplicably frozen solid in their tracks, which seems unlikely. Three years later, in the even farther off world of 2022, a team of American soldiers check out an Afghani village in the middle of a 120 degree desert. As Max's first action, he's forced to fire Jake, which causes a rift between the two brothers. This flusters Senator Cross so much that he places Max in charge of Dutch Boy (just why he'd hire the brother of the man he doesn't trust is never explained). Dutch Boy worked perfectly and the city was saved, so he doesn't see why there's a problem. Jake claims he did it to neutralize a hurricane heading for Shanghai. During the hearing, Senator Thomas Cross is angry that Jake took it upon himself to activate Dutch Boy before it was scheduled to go online. His younger brother Max (played by Jim Sturgess) tells Jake to play it cool and not anger the senators. Jake Lawson (played by Gerard Butler), the creator of Dutch boy, is summoned to Washington DC to testify before a Senate committee. ![]() For some reason, the United States government is given control of the Climate Space Station and Dutch Boy. Whenever a destructive storm is detected, Dutch Boy launches a series of weather-altering probes into the area to neutralize it. Eighteen nations then banded together to build "Dutch Boy," a series of weather satellites orbiting the planet, controlled by the International Climate Space Station. We open with a prologue, as Hannah, who'll we'll meet a bit later, helpfully informs us that in the far off year of 2019, climate change becomes so bad that entire cities are actually destroyed by violent storms. ![]()
