Metropolitan Los Angeles is sitting on ground zero. Slicing under the highrises of downtown is a network of potentially deadly faults which could trigger the nation's most devastating natural disaster. On January 17, 1994 a previously unknown fault convulsed beneath Northridge. It was the most destructive earthquake in modern Los Angeles history. NOVA takes viewers from urban trench sites to the top of the Santa Susanna Mountains, in search of clues to where nature will strike next.

Killer Quake is a killer movie.
I teach geology at a university and this is the best movie I've found on earthquakes. Production values are highest quality, professional level. This is a NOVA production with great footage, editing, writing, narration, historical overview of quakes in California, plus in-depth coverage of the Northridge quake of 1994 (?). Makes you feel like you are right there experiencing the quake and it's aftermath. Very highly recommended.
