《后天又名：末日浩劫》描绘的是以美国为代表的地球一天之内突然急剧降温，进入冰期的科幻故事。故事中，气候学家杰克．霍尔(丹尼斯．奎德饰演)在观察史前气候研究后指出，温室效应带来的全球暖化将会引发地球空前灾难。杰克博士曾警告政府官员采取预防行动，但警告显然已经太晚。杰克．霍尔博士于是急告美国副总统宣布北纬30度以南全美民众尽速向赤道方向撤离，该线以北民众要尽量保暖。而就在此时，霍尔博士得知儿子山姆(杰克．吉伦荷饰)只身前往纽约去营救女友，于是决定冒险前进纽约在冰天雪地中展开救援行动。这时候灾难从纽约开始，曼哈顿摩天大楼遭到强烈旋风的袭击，大部摧毁。突然间，地铁隧道里涌出狂暴不止的汹涌洪水。大水吞噬了纽约，淹没了美国，欧洲也在洪水之下不复存在。此后，冰层和白雪覆盖了整个地球表面，冰期时代开始了。当镜头再次回到美国时，那些侥幸生还的美国人都逃往墨西哥，请求进入那里的难民营。影片末尾处美国总统不得不叹息承认道，他所奉行的气候政策是一次巨大的败笔。

Harald Kloser's score for the environmental disaster film The Day After Tomorrow has an appropriately epic, orchestral heft. Mixing slow, implosive passages with sudden outbursts, pieces like "Tornado Warning," and "Sam!" mirror the film's concept of sudden, radical climate shifts wreaking havoc on the U.S.. Even the tracks that have a relatively consistent mood are juxtaposed to create contrast: the mounting panic implied by the squalling horns and percussion in the aptly crashing "Tidal Wave" and the tense "Russian Ghost Ship" is followed by the bittersweet calm of tracks like "Body Heat" and "Hall's Plan." For the most part, the score is ominous; although a few rays of hope peek through on tracks such as "Bedtime Story," "Cutting the Rope," and "President's Speech"; the grim drama of "Blizzard" and "Superfreeze," and the bleak strings on "Because of You" set the tone for the film's music. Despite the score's powerful feel, its pieces are remarkably short, with few of them topping the three-and-a-half minute mark. Given the film's spectacular nature, Kloser could have tried to compete with the visuals and crafted an overblown score, but the conciseness of his music gives the film a little more balance. The score's closing pieces, "The Human Spirit" and "Burning Books," border on the melodramatic, but most of The Day After Tomorrow is an effective counterpoint to the movie's action.
