‘San Andreas’ hits Star Cineplex

Star Cineplex, the country’s pioneer multiplex cinema theatre, is showing the much anticipated American disaster 3D film ‘San Andreas’, directed by Brad Peyton, from Friday at the capital’s Bashundhara City. Starring Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, the film also stars Carla Gugino, Alexandra Daddario,  Paul Giamatti and others. The screenplay was written by Carlton Cuse, with Andre Fabrizio and Jeremy Passmore receiving a story credit. The plot of the film is about a massive disastrous earthquake that hits Los Angeles . Raymond ‘Ray’ Gaines (Johnson) is a Los Angeles Fire Department helicopter-rescue pilot. In the midst of a divorce from his estranged wife, Emma (Gugino), he calls his daughter Blake (Daddario), to talk about their upcoming trip to San Francisco. Meanwhile, Caltech seismologist Lawrence Hayes (Giamatti) and his colleague Dr. Kim Park (Will Yun Lee) are at the Hoover Dammaking a breakthrough in earthquake prediction when an unknown fault nearby ruptures, triggering a magnitude 7.1 earthquake that collapses the dam and killing Park in the process, after he tries saving a little girl. Hayes discovers that the San Andreas Fault is starting to shift, causing a massive 9.1 earthquake that starts ripping apart major cities along the fault line. At the same time, Emma is having lunch with Daniel’s sister Susan (Minogue) when the quake hits Los Angeles, destroying much of the city with Susan among its heavy casualties. Ray is able to save Emma, and they barely escape the city onboard his helicopter. The rest of the story continues from there. As of June 1, 2015, San Andreas has grossed $59.4 million in North America and $60 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $119.4 million, against a budget of $110 million. Showtime: 11:00 am, 1:30 pm, 4:00 pm and 7:00 pm
