Much like Twister, Dante’s Peak features Pierce Brosnan single-handedly trying to save a small mountainous town from an impending volcanic eruption. But before that happens, Brosnan’s character must fall in love with a local girl and also fill the role as the father figure for her two children. All the while, the town finds his assertions of a potential eruption to be utterly foolish. This movie should be watched for Brosnan’s facial expressions themselves. Whether in danger or giving a fist pump after evading a fiery log, he’s quite campy and farcical.
