A "Technically Ingenious ... Spectacular Calamity Movie" – Vincent Canby, The New York Times

The Collector's Edition includes a new transfer of the extended television version with over 35 minutes of added footage!

Charlton Heston leads an all-star cast in an epic film about ordinary citizens who must come together in the face of an unstoppable natural disaster! When the most catastrophic earthquake of all time rips through Southern California, it levels Los Angeles and sends shockwaves through the lives of all who live there. Now strangers must become saviors as the city struggles to get to its feet before the next terrifying aftershock hits! Also starring Ava Gardner, George Kennedy, Lorne Greene, Victoria Principal, Geneviève Bujold and Richard Roundtree, Earthquake combines outstanding performances with Academy Award®-winning* sound and groundbreaking special effects.

*1974: Best Sound, Special Achievement Award for Visual Effects
