Whilst a common theme, the destruction of cities in the film The Day After Tomorrow is unique in that it eradicates multiple cities over the course of one movie. Devastated by an unprecedented weather surge, cities such as Philadelphia, Manhattan, and Tokyo are primarily shown as centers of the catastrophe. The film follows one father's path from Washington D.C to save his son in Manhattan, amidst the rapidly growing storm. The Day After Tomorrow highlights specific cities as hotspots for chaos, cheating a gloomy movie that alters the way in which the audience perceives cities.
