New York submerged up to the tenth floor of a building, then freezing solid. The Statue of Liberty buried up to the neck in ice. This was Roland Emmerich in maximum catastrophe mode — and it worked: the film took more than $540 million worldwide. Exactly 22 years ago.</p> <h2>What The Day After Tomorrow is about</h2> <p>Jack Hall (Dennis Quaid) is a palaeoclimatologist who spends the whole film trying to convince the US government that Earth is on the brink of climate collapse.

Not two thousand, the way blockbuster sequels do today — 126, a deliberately small number designed to manufacture scarcity and queues. It worked: the per-screen average on opening day was over $10,000. That Memorial Day weekend became legend. And the sequel nobody was sure would work became, decades later, the near-universal consensus pick for the best Star Wars ever made.</p>
