Ring of Fire (2013 film)

Ring of Fire is a 2013 American made-for-television disaster film directed by Paul Shapiro and starring Michael Vartan, Lauren Lee Smith, and Agam Darshi. The film centers on a series of catastrophic geological events occurring along the Ring of Fire, a major area in the basin of the Pacific Ocean where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur.

The plot follows a scientist and his team as they attempt to understand and mitigate the escalating volcanic and seismic activity that threatens to trigger a chain reaction of disasters. The film depicts volcanoes erupting, earthquakes causing widespread destruction, and tsunamis threatening coastal communities. The characters must race against time to find a solution and prevent a global catastrophe.

Ring of Fire was produced by Muse Entertainment Enterprises and aired on the Syfy channel. It received generally negative reviews, with critics citing its predictable plot, low-budget special effects, and scientific inaccuracies. While a disaster film intended for entertainment, its depiction of geological events is highly dramatized and not representative of real-world scientific understanding.
