Magma Volcanic Disaster is a 2006 television film by Sci Fi Pictures. Written by Rebecca Rian and directed by Ian Gilmour, the film stars Xander Berkeley and Amy Jo Johnson. It was filmed in Bulgaria.

Dormant for 700 years, the Trollsvatn volcano in Iceland suddenly erupts and kills a USGS survey team. Volcanology professor Dr. Peter Shepherd Xander Berkeley takes four of his graduate students to study Grmsvtn, a dormant volcano near the first. It also erupts suddenly, but the group is able to escape. Shepherd is convinced it is not a coincidence and visits Dr. Oscar Vallian Valentin Ganev, a wheelchairusing volcanologist who recently quit working for the USGS. He explains that many dormant volcanoes have started to erupt around the world. In the past, Vallian had formulated a theory known as Exodus, in which all 1,500 of the Earths volcanoes could erupt within a short period of time. Vallian leaves for Honshu, Japan, to be on the front lines when Mount Fuji erupts.Shepherd goes to Washington, D.C. to explain the Exodus theory and the need to stop it. Dr. William Kincaid George R. Sheffey, the head of the USGS, hates ONeil Ryan Spike Dauner and Shepherd, and is given the task of reviewing their data. He promises the presidents representative Stephen Daugherty Jonas Talkington to disprove the theory. Shepherd leaves knowing nothing will happen, returning to his students to explain the government will not act unless they get proof. ........
