Supernova
The day the world catches fire
Directed by John Harrison
Produced by The Department of Trade, Industry and Competition of South Africa, Hallmark Entertainment
A disaster thriller centered on solar catastrophe and institutional secrecy, balancing scientific crisis with interpersonal tension and cover-up paranoia.
A international science conference is held in Australia when Dr. Austin Shepard mysteriously disappears. Dr. Shepard's colleague, Christopher Richardson and other people are soon faced with the reality of an impending crisis and an attempt to keep the information from the public. While a full-blown supernova does not occur, explosions on the sun cause massive damage in Australia, and is shown often in Sydney and in various other cities and countries of the world.
