10.5
10.5 was a 2004 television miniseries directed by John Lafia and with a script written by Christopher Canaan, John Lafia and Ronnie Christensen. The plot centers around a catastrophic series of earthquakes along the United States' West Coast cumulating in one measuring 10.5 on the Richter scale. In an attempt to prevent further damage, the characters race to "weld" the fault using nuclear bombs. 10.5 was widely derided by both reviewers and geologists, but nevertheless received respectable Nielsen Ratings. Reuters reported that 20.4 million viewers watched the television movie. The miniseries stars Kim Delaney, Beau Bridges, John Schneider, Dule Hill, Fred Ward and Kaley Cuoco, and featured the fictional destruction of the Seattle's Space Needle, San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, and Los Angeles' Hollywood Sign.
