Awards: None. PREMISE: Dr. Janet Fraser, her 16 year old daughter Melanie, and her recent second husband Kevin are vacationing in Auckland, New Zealand, where Kevin hopes to scout some adventure trips for his business clients. They also hope that the trip will give Melanie a chance to become closer to Kevin, since she was just a baby when Janet’s first husband died, and she resents his prescence. Janet, a professor of vulcanology, is interested in exploring the volcanos in New Zealand. The family joins a tour guide, Patrick McGowan, whose business, “To The Edge Beyond Adventure Tours” Kevin wants to study for his clients. The tour camp is on the side of Mount Extreme, a live volcano that is thought to be safe. As the family travels with Patrick up the mountain, they are stopped by a group of Maoris, the original native inhabitants, who press their claim to the native lands that the Patrick’s tourist camp is on. Rangi, one of the members of the group, is a former partner of Patrick. When the family arrives at the camp, they meet other tourists, who are being guided by Jason, who works for Patrick. Janet is surprised to find that the camp is also a monitoring station for the local volcanic institute, and that one of the scientists was killed by toxic fumes 2 years ago. Melanie is frightened that night by an old native woman, Moana, who lives on the mountain. They learn she lost her husband and sons in the Wainui, the last eruption of Mount Extreme in 1953, when over 150 people died, and the other Maori’s think of her as a spirit.         Janet becomes alarmed when there are signs of the volcano is starting to erupt. There are frequent earthquakes, and toxic fumes coming from the earth, but she cannot seem to convince Patrick, or Brett Pearson, the Volcanic Institute’s scientist, of the coming danger. Meanwhile, Kevin and Melanie join Jason and the other young tourists on a trek up the mountainside. Kevin’s lungs, which are poor, slow him down, but Melanie is impressed that he is trying to get closer to her by going on this trek with his poor health. Back at the camp the Maoris attempt to take over the buildings, but everyone is alarmed when they see steam rising from the mountainside. Suddenly there is an earthquake, and Janet’s predictions have come true when the tour center is demolished. The Maoris and Patrick want to leave with some injured members for the local village, but Janet refuses to leave without her family. She tells Patrick and Rangi that when she was in the Philippines studying a volcano, the volcano erupted and killed many of her team while she was away, and she has never forgiven herself for not being there to help them. Rangi says he will stay with her until her family returns with Jason.        But Jason and Melanie, who took shelter in a cave to shelter from the earthquake, are trapped by a rockslide. Kevin radios Janet that he is going to try to rescue them by finding a vent further up the mountainside, and Janet reluctantly agrees. She and Rangi try to locate the vent on the area maps, but it can’t be found. Janet remembers Moana, and persuades Rangi to find her and see if she can help find the vent to help Kevin.          Jason and Melanie make their perilous way through the mountain, dodging live steam vents, gas, lava and more rockslides. Rangi leads Janet to Moana, who seems to be indifferent to their peril, until Janet tells Moana that she too is a victim of a volcano. She lost her first husband a few months after their daughter was born when he went with her while she studied a live volcano. She left him at the base camp, where she thought he would be safe, but a sudden violent eruption killed him and many others while she was away studying the lava flows. Because the women share each other’s grief, Moana tells them how to find the vent high on a hillside plateau. Janet radios Kevin, who is making his way up the mountain, that they will try to get a helicopter to rescue them. Kevin finds the vent, and saves Melanie and Jason, while Janet and Rani and Patrick use an old helicopter they used to own to give aerial mountain tours.         While Rangi flies, Patrick and Janet try to locate Kevin and Melanie and Jason. There is too much steam coming out of the mountain, but Kevin is led by Moana to a signal station, where Patrick has told them to go for pickup. They arrive just as the helicopter, which is low on fuel, is about to leave, and they are rescued. Mount Extreme erupts on one side with a huge blast of hot ash clouds and flaming rocks, but the helicopter manages to escape, and lands safely on the other side of the mountain.          Janet is overcome with emotion when she realizes that Kevin has risked his life to save her daughter, and Melanie is so grateful for Kevin’s deed that she fully accepts him as her father, to Janet’s happiness. In gratitude for helping save his family’s life, Kevin tells Patrick and Rani that he will help give them proper funding to restart their tour center and helicopter mountain tour service. The once-again partners rejoice over their good fortune, while Janet, Kevin and Melanie, thankful their ordeal is over, realize they are now a true family.
