Deep in the Pacific Ocean, a team of elite scientists races against time on Easter Island to capture a rare 4-minute total solar eclipse. Beneath the breathtaking phenomenon lies a terrifying reality: the Sun is an unpredictable thermonuclear engine launching 100-billion-ton solar blasts equal to billions of megatons of TNT. From the 1989 blackout that collapsed Canada's power grid in under 90 seconds to solar storms capable of causing 20 times the damage of Hurricane Katrina, this documentary explores the high-octane physics of space weather.
