Prepare for disaster with this action-packed pair of films.

DANTE'S PEAK: A volcanologist forlorn over the loss of his wife in the Mt. Pinatubo eruption arrives at a small Pacific Northwest town to investigate the rumblings of the local dormant volcano. Though he instantly fears the worst, he must convince the skeptical townspeople and his suspicious superiors, who believe he is overreacting in the aftermath of his own tragedy. The beautiful, widowed mayor of the picturesque town believes him, however, and soon they find themselves in a fight for their lives as "Dante's Peak" blows its stack 10 miles high, raining ash and fire over everything in its shadow. The Signature Collection Special Edition laser disc includes added commentary by the director and production designer, a behind-the-scenes documentary, and an isolated score.

DAYLIGHT: An explosive traffic accident traps hundreds of commuters in a collapsing tunnel beneath the icy waters of the Hudson River. With the river bearing down on them, the panicked survivors struggle to free themselves. Only Kit Latura, the shamed former head of Emergency Medical Services, can help them escape their watery crypt. This release includes an exclusive behind-the-scenes featurette on the making of the film. Academy Award Nomination: Best Sound Effects Editing.
