Stonehenge Apocalypse is a 2010 Canadian made-for-TV science fiction film starring Misha Collins, Torri Higginson and Peter Wingfield. The movie follows a series of deaths, natural disasters, and strange energy readings that seem to be mysteriously connected to Stonehenge.[1]
Plot
An ancient prophecy comes to pass when archaeologists unearth an Egyptian chamber 10,000 feet below ground in Maine USA, sparking a devastating electromagnetic pulse that triggers Stonehenge and, in turn, sends destructive shockwaves around the globe.
When the Aztec pyramids crumble and the stones take on a life of their own, a renegade radio host, a team of scientists, and a team of British commandos race to prevent the same force responsible for creating life on Earth from cleansing the planet in order to herald the dawn of a new age.[2]
Cast
- Misha Collins as Dr. Jacob Glaser, a once-renowned astrophysicist, now written off as a crazed conspiracy theorist by most of the scientific community (possibly because he believes metal can be radio-carbon dated). He runs a radio show called The Real Story in which he discusses unexplained phenomena with his listeners.
- Torri Higginson as Dr. Kaycee Leeds.
- Peter Wingfield as Dr. John Trousdale.
- Hill Harper as Dr. Joseph LeShem, a former friend and colleague of Dr. Glaser's, discoverer of the chamber in Maine.
Reception
Stonehenge Apocalypse drew 2.1 million viewers during its premiere.[3]
