Ice is a 1998 television disaster film starring Grant Show, Udo Kier, Flex Alexander and Eva La Rue. The film has a premise similar to The Day After Tomorrow, a science fiction disaster film released six years later. Although completely in English, it first premiered in Germany in 1998 before being aired on ABC in the United States in 2000.^[1]

Plot

An increase in sunspot activity causes disastrous, long-term consequences for the Earth. Los Angeles is, just as the rest of the world, covered with a layer of ice and snow. The government has collapsed and everyone is on their own. Chaos and crime prevails. Together with scientist Dr. Kistler and a small group of survivors, LAPD officer Robert Drake leaves in the direction of Long Beach Harbor to meet with a government ship which will take them to Guam, where it is warmer.
