The Crisis: The first president, Thomas Wilson (Danny Glover), tries to keep the nation and world calm as the end times draw near, and gives a powerful speech as he prepares for the giant world ending events to take his life. His successor, Carl Anheuser (Oliver Platt) isn’t so altruistic and only feels that the wealthy and elite should be allowed to enter the fleet of Arks that were built to withstand the super-storms and earthquakes.
The Ultimate Line: “Today, none of us are strangers. Today, we are one family, stepping into the darkness together.”
