The film was shot in Wallace Town, Los Angeles, and surrounding locations in the old mining area of Idaho. The small town of Dante Peak was shot in the small town of Wallace in northern Idaho. Since this is a disaster film focusing on volcanic eruptions, in order to create the largest and most realistic scene of volcanic eruptions in history, in addition to the volcano experts who once gambled on the Colombian volcanic eruption that killed 20,000 lives in the mid-1980s, Consultant, the 180 sets of special effects shots in the film are all processed by the digital domain (DIGITAL DOMAIN) special effects studio nominated for the Oscar for shooting "Apollo 13". The special effects department of the crew produced 130 CGI images for the film. The volcano in the film was built in a hangar in Los Angeles. The entire model occupies 100 square feet and is 35 inches high. It is a steel-wood structure. The staff first built a 100-foot-high and 35-foot-wide volcano model, and then With computer animation and dense smoke, magma and lime, etc., a realistic volcanic eruption scene is created. The effect on the screen of Dante's Peak is impeccable

The first time I watched it, I remembered that I was in high school. At that time, many so-called American blockbusters emerged in the market. Including this type of disaster film, I remember watching a tornado, a big collision between the sky and the earth...and another disaster film with a volcano as the background (both are my favorite types of films). It is said that this film is slightly average in all aspects today, 14 years later, but I still feel very nostalgic when I watch it again. The scene where the grandmother sacrificed her life to save her relatives is very touching. TT
