Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • After George discoveres the crash site wreck, another plane crashes, George runs into the neighbors house where a tidal wave effect of water rushes through the house.
  • A sky-high, enormous explosion is shown over the skyline of a major city. It remains unclear whether it is nuclear, as it is not a symmetrical mushroom cloud and no flash of light is apparent. The sound of jet fighters precedes another massive detonation further away. Multiple fires are visible throughout the city and the sound of distant gunfire can be heard.
  • Many cars are shown crashed on a road without drivers present; several additional cars speed toward them and crash while another car, with people inside, swerves to avoid being struck.
