The film stars Gerard Butler, Jim Sturgess, Abbie Cornish, Ed Harris, Richard Schiff, Katheryn Winnick, Robert Sheehan and Andy García. The film is about a satellite designer who tries to save the world from a storm of epic proportions caused by malfunctioning climate-controlling satellites.

Re-shoots were scheduled in December 2016 under executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Danny Cannon.[3] The film is also known for being the first co-production between Skydance Media and Warner Bros.

Synopsis

In the near future, when climate-controlling satellites malfunction and release disaster-creating small pods all over the world, Jake Lawson (Gerard Butler) and his other fellow astronauts head into space to prevent the satellites from programming the small pods into creating a storm of epic proportions. They soon discover that the disasters weren't caused by a malfunction, but were done with intention and the only person who has the kill codes to shut down the satellites is President Andrew Palma (Andy García).
