The Core

The Core

The Core is a 2003 disaster movie in which the Earth's core has stopped rotating. Within a year, the Earth will lose its electromagnetic shield and be fried by solar radiation. It's up to a small team of scientists to travel down to the core and restart it.

Earth has a deadline
In a year, everyone on Earth is dead.
The only way out... is in.
Say it with me: "I don't know."

Beck:
Hey guys, we're closing in on the inner core.

Josh:
The nukes are ready. The timers are on.

Beck:
Great. Let's start dropping them.

Zimsky:
No. The bombs are not built for these pressures. That's why they were in that pod. If you send them out now, out of that casing, they'll be crushed instantly.

Beck:
And I assume we have a plan D.

Josh:
Plan D is Virgil's compartiments. We put a nuke in each section of Virgil and then eject the individual sections. They should stay intact long enough for the nuke to go off. [Braz sighs]

Josh:
What?

Braz:
The Virgil is not designed to eject undamaged compartments. [Shows them an animation] Okay, these are the ejection mechanisms holding each compartment in place. They're all connected by one master hydraulic gear, kind of like keys on a keyring. What we have to do, we have to unlock the piston. That will release the compartments so the bombs can be jettisoned.

Zimsky:
Where's the master gear?

Braz:
In the crawl space we used to get out earlier.

Zimsky:
[Frustrated] Well, what the hell is it doing there?

Braz:
Look, I had this ship built in three damn months; I didn't think I'd deliberately be sabotaging her, I'm sorry!

Josh:
So one of us has to go in there.

Braz:
Correct.

Beck:
Into the crawl space, that has core fluid at over 9000 degrees?

Braz:
Yes.

Josh:
Can you flush it with liquid nitrogen?

Braz:
We don't have enough of it at this point.

Zimsky:
9000 degrees. And our suits are built to withstand...?

Braz:
Half that, probably.

Zimsky:
Right, half that.

Josh:
So what you're saying is, whoever goes into that crawl space, is not coming back.
