《后天又名：末日浩劫》描繪的是以美國為代表的地球一天之內突然急劇降溫，進入冰期的科幻故事。故事中，氣候學家杰克．霍爾(丹尼斯．奎德飾演)在觀察史前氣候研究后指出，溫室效應帶來的全球暖化將會引發地球空前災難。杰克博士曾警告政府官員采取預防行動，但警告顯然已經太晚。杰克．霍爾博士于是急告美國副總統宣布北緯30度以南全美民眾盡速向赤道方向撤離，該線以北民眾要盡量保暖。而就在此時，霍爾博士得知兒子山姆(杰克．吉倫荷飾)只身前往紐約去營救女友，于是決定冒險前進紐約在冰天雪地中展開救援行動。這時候災難從紐約開始，曼哈頓摩天大樓遭到強烈旋風的襲擊，大部摧毀。突然間，地鐵隧道里涌出狂暴不止的洶涌洪水。大水吞噬了紐約，淹沒了美國，歐洲也在洪水之下不復存在。此后，冰層和白雪覆蓋了整個地球表面，冰期時代開始了。當鏡頭再次回到美國時，那些僥幸生還的美國人都逃往墨西哥，請求進入那里的難民營。影片末尾處美國總統不得不嘆息承認道，他所奉行的氣候政策是一次巨大的敗筆。
 
這是曾以《ID4星際終結者》寫下四億票房的名導羅蘭．艾默里奇的全新巨作。全片將有大量頂尖特效，呈現撲天蓋地的自然威脅，并細密交織父子及男女之間刻骨銘心的動人情感，大手筆的運用將給觀眾留下強烈的刺激。

Harald Kloser's score for the environmental disaster film The Day After Tomorrow has an appropriately epic, orchestral heft. Mixing slow, implosive passages with sudden outbursts, pieces like "Tornado Warning," and "Sam!" mirror the film's concept of sudden, radical climate shifts wreaking havoc on the U.S.. Even the tracks that have a relatively consistent mood are juxtaposed to create contrast: the mounting panic implied by the squalling horns and percussion in the aptly crashing "Tidal Wave" and the tense "Russian Ghost Ship" is followed by the bittersweet calm of tracks like "Body Heat" and "Hall's Plan." For the most part, the score is ominous; although a few rays of hope peek through on tracks such as "Bedtime Story," "Cutting the Rope," and "President's Speech"; the grim drama of "Blizzard" and "Superfreeze," and the bleak strings on "Because of You" set the tone for the film's music. Despite the score's powerful feel, its pieces are remarkably short, with few of them topping the three-and-a-half minute mark. Given the film's spectacular nature, Kloser could have tried to compete with the visuals and crafted an overblown score, but the conciseness of his music gives the film a little more balance. The score's closing pieces, "The Human Spirit" and "Burning Books," border on the melodramatic, but most of The Day After Tomorrow is an effective counterpoint to the movie's action.
