Skyfire

A group of volcanologists lead by Meng Li, research the safety of a volcanic island paradise prior to a huge planned expansion of a resort there. Meng saw her mother killed by an eruption on the same island when Meng was a little girl. When her father finds out that she's back on the same island, he heads straight there to get her off the island and save her. As fate will have it, after not convincing Meng to leave, there's an eruption far more destructive than the previous. He and Meng help in getting some of the 50000 off the island. It's a constant race against the volcano.
