Escaping The Los Angeles Apocalypse | 2012 | Now Scaring 
Film & Animation
One of my biggest gripes with this movie was the guy who plays the step-dad. Seems like a great guy. Good husband and father, and he basically dies in one of the most gruesome ways imaginable. (Literally grinded through gears). The wife acts sad for a minute, but then gets back with Cusack. Her and the kids act like nothing happened a little while later lol
R.I.P 2012 Step-Dad. You were too good for that family 😢
Yeah, it was the one time where the cliche step dad was actually good to the kids and wasn't some comical loser villain, but a competent, caring stepdad who wasn't a schmuck and didn't treat the bio-dad with contempt
@@AndoCommando1000 if it wasnt for him theyd be all DEAD
Worst part is Cusack literally could have saved him but he put like 25% effort
Men are expendable.
@@jackashmorelmfao how??? Is he elastic man who can stretch his arms to reach for him? You can clearly see in the scene where he holding on to the rope to not lose his footing. He extends all the way to reach for Gordon but he’s just too far. The Chinese laborer was saved because not only was he closer to Jackson, he was also holding on to the same rope. If Jackson were to let go of the rope, he would slip and fall into the gears, possible even pushing them two in the processs
But yeah it’s bullshit how quick they get over Gordon’s death
RIP to the tower operator. He stayed to the last moment to enforce rules on a plane that was fleeing the literal apocalypse
Probably didn't let them take off because it was unsafe to do so with the ash cloud. Other than that, I don't have a reason as to why he didn't want them to take off.
Coded NPC?
He was probably hanging onto whatever normality was left in that little concrete tower
@@craboverlord478 Probably the only one left in the tower.
@@craboverlord478 Sounds fair
3:06 I love how everyone is either bashing or liking the person in the tower still doing his job till the bitter end
Great job buddy, hope it was worth it
"It's Russian, huh?"
"Lift your big ass for Sasha"
Man that cracks me up. I like how strong the Slavic characters' accents are in this movie
Even tho as an actors they are Slavic but not Russians which is the difference 😂
Where was the PULL UP, pull up Warning in the cockpit?
LIFT YO BIG AZZ FOR SASHA is no worse than the second funniest line in the whole movie 😂😂
Funniest thing is that the plane isn’t even Russian, but Ukrainian. Antonov is a Ukrainian company. Though back then, a lot of people couldn’t tell the difference out of ignorance.
@@Pilotmario
100%.
"Tower to Antov, what are you doing? Power down immediately!"
"Bro, why are you still working??"
Employee benefits man, my dental check-up is in a month!
When ur in a literal apocalypse but ur boss won't let you leave until 5pm
A real person did this in real life by the way. I forgot what country but an earthquake suddenly struck, the ATC quickly gave final clearance for the last plane to take off before eventually dying. Quite the opposite of what happened here
@@adambrande That's much more realistic. It's all you can do in that position.
"You don't have clearance, but don't let that stop you. We're all screwed, so nobody is going to stop you. Good luck out there."
@@adambrandeif I remember it's Indonesia, I just forget what airport is it
Rest in Peace Antonov An-225 Mriya, you'll always be remembered.
Yuri's country did that
She was a good ship. Too bad her resting place will never be found
man i just wanted to watch a movie
@@heisgonenowheisgonenow cant even get away from reality anymore.
@@theotherdave8013 ye dud
ATC: "You do not have clearance, you must abort! I repeat, you must abort!"
Ash cloud: "Employee of the month, ladies and gentlemen."
Ash Cloud wouldn't have caused the control tower to instantly combust. Probably an extended pyroclastic flow from Yellowstone Super Volcano.
@@CFRF13 Which is what happened
Who’s going to stop to stop them? The Air Force?
Not to mention the fact that who in their right mind would be landing in a place that's about to get obliterated, but why exactly don't they have clearance? Just because they said so? Employee of the month, and also Jerk of the Year for trying to take as many people down with him as possible during the apocalypse.
Gotta watch out for those lawsuits if someone crashes a plane on takeoff…..
Hollywood is really good at fearmongering. People who were born before 2012 knew this feeling.
Before the movie people were already scared dawg
Oh, you know, only causing over 10.000 people to commit suicide because they believed this was gonna happen....
Yeah They just Popularized Some Mayan prophecy about Moon cycle
Dude, I was born when Eisenhower was president. You kids don't know a thing about fear.
People legitimately offed themselves because of the whole scare and hysteria about the whole 2012 Mayan calendar apocalypse thing.
This scene would be better if the ATC tried to guide the plane to the runway then wished them luck and godspeed seconds before the ash cloud hit them
If the ATC helped the Antonov, then he would've allowed the people before Gordon and Sasha to take off, meaning they would have no plane to escape and they'd die :(
@@K-BallMapthe writers could have adapted that part and that the rich mobster owned a plane locked at a hangar. It would have painted a clear message of human selflessness where a single member of our species is capable of executing the task until the final breath.
@@tsrmmercy836 Depending on the size of the plane, Sasha would not need a co-pilot, meaning the Curtis family and Gordon Silberman would be left behind.
Assuming their plane was a big one, and Sasha needed a co-pilot, bringing the Curtis family and Gordon onto the plane then yes, it might have worked.
But it wouldn't be guaranteed.
What if their plane was slower than the Antonov-500? The only reason the Curtis family got onto the Arks was because they teamed up with the Buddhist monks and their grandparents, which were going by car, and nearly left the Curtis family behind.
What if there was less fuel on the plane than on the Antonov? Despite how quick the landmasses of the Earth were moving, it still wouldn't be enough to catch the falling plane, and it might've landed in the South China Sea.
What if the plane had too much fuel? The only reason the Antonov landed right next to the Arks was because the Earth's landmasses had moved, and by a lot. If the plane Yuri had in Vegas had more fuel, then they would've overshot their target, landing somewhere outside of China.
@@K-BallMap Or they followed protocol till the end then regrets their decision upon seeing the ash cloud and knowing there is no hope in staying the first place so they just make one last ditch effort to let the Antonov go for the 2nd time.
Las Vegas is roughly 740 miles away from Yellowstone. The fact that the pyroclastic flow from the initial eruption is STILL pushing that far at max speed just shows how scary a hypothetical eruption of a super volcano can be.
Is that what that was? I wondered what was going on. I thought it was just basic earthquakes, the ground opening up, that kind of movie destruction. Yes, a super-volcano is scary.
It's like what Charlie the news reporter or something, he says that the ash clouds ends far away to Washington DC and that is where the ash clouds ends but at the east side of US 🇺🇸 survives Ash clouds but didn't survived earthquake and tsunami and that is what happened to the American president.
Far scarier if you consider the original explosion was severely downgraded. If Yellowstone really went boom it would be instantaneous.
I concur
Or it's completely bunk and the movie is extremely over exaggerating it lol. The flow wouldn't go that far, but the localized ash clouds and debris would
Honestly when I was still a kid the step dad annoy the shit out of me. Now I grew up and finish my pilot course I realised the dude truly being challenge by being forced to take the fastest pilot course ever and the entire family that prefer the main character doesn't help his sanity either. I can imagine how he feel to be the outsider and the ending honestly didn't do him justice. RIP for this legend, finishing MER and flying commercial jet in two days
For some reason the first time I saw this movie I somehow didn’t connect the dots that this was supposed to be the same pyroclastic flow from the earlier Yellowstone super volcano eruption scene. I just thought it was a random ash cloud for no reason to create suspense, because Hollywood.
It wasn’t until a second viewing where I realised, for once Hollywood didn’t consider that just because the main characters escaped from the Yellowstone eruption meant the volcanic danger was over.
They actually followed through with the fact the danger from the Yellowstone eruption didn’t magically end just because the scene ended. It kept covering more and more of the country despite the fact they had escaped it once already in a smaller plane. It was still a looming threat that followed them to a new geographic location and caught up to them at a later part of the film.
"Giant ash cloud created by the super volcano will first envelope 👉Vegas, and the St.Louis, and then Chicago, and then at loong last... Washington DC will have its light go out!"
This gives not only a preview of the major locations hit by the cloud in order of distance, but it's also a foreshadow about Vegas and, most important, DC before it gets shifted next to the new South Pole(Wisconsin). I'm still not sure if what's falling in DC during the President's final moments is snow(because of the nearby South Pole) or ash, but ash falls like that only if there's an active fire nearby, while the ash cloud was just self-moving instant death.
Apparently the Yellowstone hot spot has shifted under the continental divide so if it does erupt, it might blow up a hill or two but nothing more, I heard that from a Yellowstone park geologist guide person
@@randominternet8198 they're saying that to keep you calm while they complete their magma transfer devices to remove the impending explosion
yeah, except a pyroclastic flow, esp that big, would be traveling probably the speed of sound. They'd have never escaped the first one lol.
Pyroclastic flows cant go that far though
What he’s basically saying 3:10 is stop you have to stay here and die.
wrong abort kinda means cancel so he is telling them to cancel the takeoff
@@heisgonenowheisgonenow Which in this situation would result them in dying from the giant black pyroclastic clouds of death
@@SamForShort or for short giant deadly ash cloud
@@heisgonenowheisgonenow
You’re annoying
They didnt know they would die
"Today none of us are strangers; today we are one family stepping into the darkness together."
That quote gets me every time. 😢
Way too serious for such a goofy movie. The premise behind 2012 is so outrageously dumb, that it should make no effort to take itself seriously. When the little girl starts crying as she watches people die below her...just insulting. Either make the premise remotely plausible, or add supernatural elements, like angry gods or something, or ramp up the camp. You can't have it both ways. Which is why this CGI monstrosity bombed at the box office.
Imagine that scene happening and Trump is president. No elegant words forthcoming, and you know he wouldn't have going down with the ship.
@@nancybarnes7109 You don't support Trump?
@brianbenfield3270 lol regardless he literally would be on that ship first
@@TheAngryAstronautshush up
No wonder they were running out of fuel. The direct route from Vegas to the Himalayan mountains is up past Alaska. They were definitely taking the scenic route.
That might be in the way of the pyroclastic flow.
They went around the ash cloud flying away from California to Hawaii and then to China
They went straight to Yellowstone if they take direct route to china lmao
@@drmaulana2600 Not quite - they would end up going up to Alaska then Siberia. They might have to veer west to avoid the blast of Yellowstone by flying over the North Pacific but Hawaii is WAY out of their way.
@@richardthomas5362 But as they said in the video/movie they had to get more fuel on Hawaii, so thats why.
Damn, can’t believe I survived this

Will tell my kids this happened in 2012

People complained about it being unrealistic, but I think that government employees rigorously enforcing regulations despite the impending end of the world is one of the most realistic things in this movie.
Rest in peace Gordan, he was a great father, very supportive and an amzing pilot. He lilteralry helped flew a huge ass plane. He never deserved the guresome death he got. What a great man. Plus props for the actor too.
yep RIP Gordon man really liked his character

"we lost all the landing gear in Vegas" 😂

@@heisgonenowheisgonenow I guess it's true what they say, you can bet anything in Vegas on a gamble
But how are they going to land and refuel and refuel in Hawaii if they lost their landing gear
Man, Hawaii would suck here. I mean LA and Vegas was bad, but lava makes everything so much worse
I mean, Vegas is literally engulfed in a pyroclastic cloud from Yellowstone, which is typically between 200-700° C, so that’s not much better
At least in Hawaii, you had the chance of getting on a ship and getting away from the lava.
@@robertcooper6853youll be engulf by huge waves and rouge waves, and tsunami.

Покойся с миром "Мрия"
I love it when movie characters are quite literally 1 inch away from death and start laughing hysterically like they weren't about to die. it makes me ease up a little bit to how sad the scenes can be

Yuri: Not good, that is not good

Sasha: Not enough, we’re going to have to make a water landing somewhere in South China city.

Gordon: Oh we lost it all, in Vegas.
@@BZVG_OFFICIAL-xk4ye no landing gear well that was terrific
hey if you didnt know, Jesus will fulfill you more than anything in this world, I speak from experience (from when i did Romans 10:9-13), he loves you and wants to be in a meaningful (not romantic) relationship with you. :) “that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:9-13 KJV “and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.” Mark 1:15 KJV If you want proof that Jesus and the Bible are true look a documentary called “Ron Wyatt discoveries 2022” on RUclips and a RUclips channel called Expedition Bible. They both examine archeological sites and discoveries that prove the Bible, and even reference secular sources. (Just don’t convert to 7th day Adventism after watching the documentary) And lastly if you don’t know the gospel and want to be saved search up “abc’s of Salvation Teenmissions” on Google and it should be the first or second result. When you click on it read the whole thing, and do what it says and have faith in Jesus while you are doing it, do not doubt, and if it is hard for you to do what it says, ask Jesus to help you, have faith that he will, and he will. God Bless :)
@@Sahilprakash1999if they land in Hawaii with no landing gears there would scratch damage on the bottom plane and by then they would definitely not gonna make it to China after refueling the plane and try to takeoff without landing gears that wouldn't work for them to get to China for destination.
@BryanZuniga-xk4ye is "South China Sea" not south china city
Quite impressed with the plane's ability to fly through all that ash and debris and not suffer any engine failures.
It's russian eh?
Big Planes are built tough. The Antonov, one of the biggest piece of art there is, Has one of the most sturdiest engines there is. Next to Airforce 1 and the AC-130s
Ah yes I can still remember how the world ended back in 2012.

"Antonov, get back here and die with us, don't you dare try to survive!"
A girl in my school genuinely believed the world was gonna end in 2012 on that day and leading up to it she just became suuuuuper rude and had no filter and would disrespect everyone and teachers even her twin sister then after it everyone just hated her but she became popular again later just from being pretty and being a cheerleader a few years later
So basically she became a bitch because she was under the influence of this movie. Bro, when I first saw this movie, I also believed the world was ending in 2012, but I just panicked internally during my exams. That's it. What the girl you're talking about did is just pure idiocy. She did that to herself...
That was incredibly fucking hilarious 😂
There is no justice.
I don't have 2012 stories like that, but I was friends with a guy when the Y2K panic hit, whose parents believed in that stuff and took him and the family to a lodge in the mountains that didn't have mainline electricity supplied to it. Only a small spare generator and everything else was old fashioned and electricity free. They stayed there for 3 weeks around new years 2000 and eventually just went back home when they realized it was a big fat pile of nothing and the world just continued on as it always had.

😂😂
I feel like the speech cutting out was supposed to be spooky and ominous but ended up being unintentionally really funny.
As a Las Vegas resident, I couldn't help but notice the plane took off from the airport and was going the wrong way down the strip
surely because they were running away from something right? mhh
@Umochi6934 No. They took off and were headed towards the airport, not away
As an IRL pilot I can say with 100% certainty that the airport they were taking off from would have been declared Class Golf (uncontrolled) at that time, also the no 250 KIAS under 10,000 rule would also likely be unenforced, pretty sure that AN-225 would also require more than 250 KIAS in it's climb out, so yeah.
Can you translate to humanish?
In the United States there are different airspace classifications that determine things like maximum airspeed, cloud/visibility requirements, and entry equipment/procedures.
A (Alpha) - Controlled, IFR ONLY
B (Bravo) - Controlled, very restrictive entry
C (Charlie) - Controlled, restrictive entry
D (Delta) - Controlled, minimal restrictive entry
E (Echo) - Controlled, not required to communicate
G (Golf) - uncontrolled airspace
There are weather minimums attached to each airspace and that gets in depth.
As for airspeed, there is a general limit of no 250 knots airspeed below 10,000 feet unless your aircraft requires more than that in its performance index. Under Class Bravo airspace that speed limit is reduced to 200 knots. Above 10,000 feet in altitude the max speed limit is Mach 1, going supersonic requires special permission or war time emergency protocols.
To anyone who isn't a pilot aka ninety percent of people who read ur comment we have absolutely no clue what you just said
@@epicgamer5231 I'm not a pilot but I understand everything!
Can you translate that into humanish please?

That tower operator sure loves his job
Im surprised that las vegas is ripping apart but the power and lights are still on the buildings and places,
Vegas ain't Vegas without the lights
I've been to Vegas before I would know
Because airports have emergency generators that run on diesel…..because of power outages they need to communicate with the airplanes in such situations
The tower operator was like "HALT YOU ARE VIOLATION MULTIPLE FEDERAL AVIATION LAWS!"
They were really lucky. The plastic surgeon knew the trophy wife, the driver knew the billionaire... Then they said Gordon was a good enough copilot.
It just came to me. If they dumped the cars they would have enough fuel to land lol
Jackson asked Sasha if he had a plane to escape from Las Vegas and Lily blurted out that Gordon was a pilot and Gordon and Sasha managed to fly

This was all a dream in Gordon’s mind. He woke up, realizing they were waiting for him on set to direct Spotlight.
3:07 YOU DO NOT HAVE CLEARANCE YOU MUST AFFORD UGHAAHHH
No sir, that plane was not Russian, it was Ukrainian and it's (sadly) nothing now- having been bombed by Russia in the early days of their offensive against Ukraine.
Technicaly speaking An-225 was built by the collaborate effort of several factories throughout USSR territory with Russian-led designers so it can only be considered Ukrainian because it got dibs on it after the collapse. Besides I'm pretty sure the plane in this movie is not the same as IRL, the design is inspired but in-universe "Antonov-500" always belong to Russia (or at least personally to Karpov)
Ukrainians are basically russians culture and traditions wise... Putin isn't wrong about that... but they should be free to rule themselves..
- 🤓
So true
That plane was built by Soviet Russia....
For the buran space shuttle program....
That was definitely Russian, and later Ukrainian....
Where is Los Vegas...I never heard of it...
it supposed to be Las Vegas, he misspelled it.
This is one of my favorite apocalypse movies.
Pilot one: business jet pilot , pilot two: student pilot
But they are flying a an225 like plane which require 4 or 5 crew members and specially trained pilots out of a partially damaged runway🙄
Thats part of the fun of the movie man. That the plane enthusiasts could see themselves flying an An 225.
He was very dedicated to his job 😂😂😂😂
Justice for Gordon. He saved them like 5 times lmao
And got the most brutal death ever all to be forgotten immediately
I've seen this movie many times and never realised that Gordan was wearing his Hospital shirt the whole time.
Tamara looks beautiful in this movie!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊
because she is Russian ;)
The one thing that was wrong with this part is that pyroclastic flows wouldn't go the distance from Yellowstone to Las Vegas. They would destroy the park swiftly but wouldn't make it as far as Las Vegas. Even big ash clouds would only go for about 100 kms to 150 kms before reaching their distance limit. Las Vegas would have ash raining down but not a 500 degree to 1000 degree ash cloud engulfing the city.

I like how they said they planned to refuel in Hawaii then literally a minute later they mention the landing gear getting annihilated in Vegas. How did they plan to land and take off again?
Better yet with the landing gear gone how did they continue taking off in the first place??
Man, this is a really fun movie but some things I just can’t ignore 😂
They only said they lost it in Vegas, not when
Good point actually... Most likely it wouldn't even been able to liftoff again because of the ruined landing gears.
7:39 Hawaii lookin like World 8 from DKC Returns
Hawaii looks looks like Mustafar from Star Wars.
Gordon speaking Facts: Vegas doesnt just take your money, it takes your landing gear on your big russian plane too😂😂😂😂😂😂
Gordon really annoyed me throughout. His reluctance to fly made no sense.
The world is ending. Your only escape is a plane. Even if I knew nothing about planes, I'd be right there trying to fly one if it meant survival!
Hes the best character of the movie, save for Cusack!
Couldn't have happened to a better city.
After saving everyone twice, Gordon deserved better.
Did NOT expect you to be here lol.
"My fellow Americans, we are so COOKED lmao."
yeah no way i get this in my feed during the LA fires
7:40 that's the hell
7:17 “go get the guys” lol imagine if he said “go get the girls.” Any sense of rational thought would go down the drain
Stop saying I’m a pilot! 😂😂
