DANTE’S PEAK
On November 13, 1985 [00:21 to 5:08] Nevada del Ruiz volcano in Colombia erupts, killing Marianne, the partner of vulcanologist Dr. Harry Dalton. Four yeas later Harry is sent to Dante’s Peak, Washington to investigate the dormant volcano near the town. While on an outing with Rachel Wando and her kids, Harry finds evidence of heat buildup inside the mountain. Harry convinces his boss to send a team to conduct further studies, but they initially find nothing until on the eve of their departure it is discovered that the town’s water supply has been contaminated by volcanic residue. Both Harry and his boss Paul agree that an eruption may be imminent and the town is ordered evacuated. The volcano erupts and Harry discovers Rachel and her kids have gone to rescue her mother, who lives near the crater. Their efforts are ultimately unsuccessful as she stays behind after being injured during the rescue attempt. Harry, Rachel and her kids reach the town after everyone else has left, just before a final cataclysmic eruption. However, they find safety in an abandoned mine and are rescued days later.
Volcanoes:Crucibles of Change by Richard V. Fisher, et. al. (Princeton University Press, Princeton, NJ, 1997) at page 272 gives the date of the eruption.
