Synopsis
10 days from first tremor to full eruption. Will the city pull together or fall apart?

A maverick scientist is convinced that a major volcanic eruption is only days away from destroying the city. Despite his certainty he struggles to convince his sceptical colleagues and ambitious wife to raise the alarm. As the eruption draws closer, his daughter tries to keep their family from falling apart. Meanwhile, residents of the city struggle with their personal crises as they start to evacuate. A young Chinese couple test their luck; two runaway brothers leave their hospitalised mother in a state of panic; and a lifeline is provided by a pair of irreverent talk-show hosts.

Ratings

“TV3’s HD natural disaster dramatisation, Eruption, scorched the competition last night when it won its 8.30pm two-hour slot in all of the key demographics”. Eruption snared a 27% share of not only TV3’s target audience, 18-49 year-olds, but also 25-54 and 18-39 year-olds, whereas TVNZ’s competition could muster only 10%-20% shares of these demos.
