After their plane crashes in Africa, the wild animals make new friends at their new home. A problem arises, however, when the watering hole nearby dries up because of selfish tourist. The animal gang comes together to save their new animal neighborhood.
As Earth's temperature begins to increase at a rapid rate, world leaders begin a secret project to ensure humanity's survival. As earthquakes, tsunamis and other natural disasters occur, viewers wonder if anyone will survive.
In the 3-D animated film, The Lorax argues the environment must be protected against those who could profit from it. With one last truffula tree seed available, a young boy named Ted (Zac Efron) pleads with the Once-ler to give up the prized procession in hopes of making his town a little greener.
As the icebergs continue to break apart and melt, the gang must fight to stay together and reunite with their families. The story resonates today with glaciers disappearing at alarming rates all across our oceans.
The Earth's polar ice caps have melted, thus turning the planet into one big ocean. That's not a good thing. Of course, neither is the sight of Kevin Costner's character distilling his pee-pee into water and drinking it. That's just gross.
What's up with director Roland Emmerich constantly laying waste to the third rock from the sun? The man who gave us such destruction-filled flicks as Independence Day, Godzilla and 2012, also served up this piece of cinema involving global warming (no, we're not referring to Jake Gyllenhaal's hotness) and the onset of a new Ice Age.
If you want to see what kind of a mess the Earth might turn into someday if humans keep treating it the way they do, look no further than this Disney/Pixar pic. And what better way to help illustrate such a catastrophe than through the eyes of an endearing robot stuck with cleaning it all up?
This remake of the 1951 classic finds alien Klaatu (Keanu Reeves) arriving on our globe and insisting we better shape up when it comes to the environment or we can pretty much kiss our sorry asses goodbye. Whoa!
This film finds Bruce Dern on a spaceship keeping watch over the last remaining specimens of our planet's plant life following years of humankind's ecological recklessness. It may be nearly 40 years old, but in many ways, it feels just as relevant, if not more so, today. In other words, there's nothing, er, silent about the message here.
With gas prices at record highs right now, it got us thinking about the movie that turned Mel Gibson into a star. Along with cool action, and an even cooler main character, this Aussie import gave us a story that centers on the brutal collapsing of society as a result of a global oil shortage. It also gave us a kick-ass sequel.
How could we put a gallery like this together for Earth Week and not include this one? After all, it's got "green" in the title! Or course, that's not the only reason seeing how this Charlton Heston sci-fi flick deals with pollution, overpopulation, depleted resources and, oh yeah, a popular food item with a certain secret ingredient.
Who knew listening to a lecture by Al Gore could be so riveting? Sure, unlike all the other movies here, this harrowing affirmation of the dangers of global warming is a documentary. But, for that very reason, it's a helluva lot scarier than anything Hollywood has ever come up with.
