Absolute Zero (film)

Absolute Zero is a 2006 disaster film directed by Robert Lee and written by Sarah Watson. It stars Jeff Fahey and Erika Eleniak. The film is about polar shift, which brings a new ice agein Florida, and everywhere within 30 degrees north and south of the equator.
==Plot==
David Koch (Jeff Fahey), a climatologist employed by Inter Sci, proposes a theory that the last ice age was triggered by Earth's polar shift in a single day. When unusually cold weather strikes Miami and the birds start to return from the south a few months earlier, he is sent to Antarctica to find out what is happening.
Once there, he discovers a frozen body of a human that is at least 10,000 years old, but appears to have been instantly frozen in place. He also discovers cave paintings that show the sun falling down. A sudden blizzard then destroys the base camp and kills some members of his team.
Back in Miami, David presents his findings to his co-workers and his boss. He claims that another polar shift is only a couple of hours away and the new ice age is inevitable. However, nobody believes him. According to current theories, the shifting of the poles should take at least 200 years. David's one-time love Bryn (Erika Eleniak) supports his theory with numerous stories about the falling sun followed by a darkness and terrible cold.
When the weather in Miami starts getting colder and colder, the evacuation is ordered and the people start to move to the north. David, Bryn, and a group of people miss the chance to escape, and their only hope is to hide in a special room at Inter Sci. In a couple of hours, everything within 30° north and south of the equator turns to absolute zero (–273 °C) turning Florida, Mexico, Central America, most of South America and Africa into an ice desert. David, Bryn, and his associates manage to survive although everything is frozen outside the room. When the polar shift is over and the sun appears again, they are rescued.
As a consequence of polar shift, many people die and the world's climate changes completely—Northern Canada and Siberia become hot deserts; and Greenland, Iceland, Northern Europe, New York City and State, Alaska, and Antarctica now have a tropical climate.
