Any resemblance Geostorm has to reality appears completely accidental. In a disaster movie that makes Armageddon look like a NASA documentary, Gerard Butler stars as the talented but problematic creator of a system of climate-controlling satellites. Fired for having standards and speaking truth to power, Jake Lawson (Bulter) is recruited back into the program by the same estranged brother (Jim Sturgess) who fired him when things start to go wrong.

Originally a completely separate throwaway slasher flick, it’s unclear whether anyone involved in this project, including director Morgan J.
