Owen (Chris Pratt) and Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) want to save her as quickly as possible. But of course a dark group of villains have their hands in the game again.

Spoilers follow: In the end, the long-announced volcanic eruption finally occurs, which the sci-fi film team simulated in places with cat litter (!).
