A network built to keep the planet's weather under control turns into the very thing that could end it, and the fix has to be found before the countdown runs out.
What is Geostorm about?
After a series of catastrophic weather events pushes nations to cooperate, the world builds an orbital network of satellites capable of neutralizing storms, droughts, and heat waves before they can do damage. Years into the system running smoothly, the technology begins malfunctioning in ways nobody can explain, triggering extreme weather instead of preventing it. The engineer who designed the network is called back in, over his own objections, to find out what's gone wrong before the malfunctions escalate into something the network can no longer be shut off from causing. As the timeline narrows, the search for an explanation turns up something closer to home than anyone expected, and the effort to fix the hardware becomes inseparable from a fight to stop whoever is behind the sabotage.

Context & significance
Directed by Dean Devlin, Geostorm sits squarely in the disaster-thriller tradition, pairing large-scale visual effects with a conspiracy plot that keeps the human drama moving between set pieces. Released in 2017, the film leans on its premise — a climate-control system that could just as easily become a weapon — to raise the stakes past a typical natural-disaster story. Its combination of science-fiction hardware and geopolitical suspicion places it alongside other studio disaster films of the same period, built for a broad audience looking for scale over subtlety.
