Stonehenge Apocalypse is a 2010 made-for-TV Canadian science fiction movie 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.
Plot
An ancient 'prophecy' comes to pass when archeologists unearth an Egyptian chamber in England, sparking a devastating electromagnetic pulse that originates at a half-sized plastic copy of 'Stonehenge' (seemingly situated in convenient but non-existent woodland, and relocated on scientists' maps to the outskirts of Liverpool) and sends destructive shockwaves around the globe. When the supposedly Aztec pyramids (Yucatan's pyramids are actually Mayan) 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 (oddly dressed as members of the Parachute Regiment, and led by a man addressed as 'Major' whose shoulder insignia indicate the rank of a captain in the Irish Guards) 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[1] Meanwhile, in Maine, another team discovers a mysterious 'Egyptian' chamber at a depth of 10,000 feet below ground - 2,500 feet deeper than any shaft ever bored to this day.
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.
Reception
Stonehenge Apocalypse drew 2.1 million viewers during its premiere.[2]
