00:00The movie begins by introducing Will and Sam, who are deeply in love, but not yet married.
00:05They live together and are hoping that Sam's father, Tom, will give them permission to get
00:10married. During this time, Sam discovers that she is pregnant. A visit to the doctor confirms
00:15the exciting news. She is expecting a child. Sam's parents live far away, about 2,000 kilometers from
00:21where Sam and Will are. Will decides to visit them and speak to her father face to face.
00:26He plans to express his love for Sam, tell him about the pregnancy, and ask for permission to
00:32marry her. Before he leaves, Sam warns Will not to mention a specific incident involving her father's
00:37boat. She feels that bringing it up will only upset him. Trusting her advice Will promises to avoid the
00:43subject, and Sam sees him off, hoping everything goes well. Wynne will arrive at her parents' house.
00:49He is greeted by Sam's mother, who speaks to him with courtesy and kindness. However, Sam's father,
00:55Tom, seems distant and not particularly interested in talking to Will. Despite this,
01:01Tom offers Will a drink, and they sit together, chatting for a while as they drink. While they
01:05talk, Will struggles to find a way to mention the reason for his visit. His eyes scan the room,
01:10and he notices some framed photographs on the wall. To keep the conversation going, he begins
01:15asking questions about the photos. Then, by chance, he sees the image of a boat. Without thinking,
01:21Will comments, I'll never forget that boat. Help me reach my goal of 10 likes,
01:24and 5 comments. Comment as much as you want. The goal is to achieve it. I want to sincerely
01:30thank you for always supporting this channel. Sending you many blessings and a huge thank you.
01:37The channel keeps growing, and very soon we'll be able to connect even more through the new
01:42membership feature. But we'll talk more about that later. For now, let's jump back into the story.
01:47This was precisely the subject Sam had warned him not to mention. The moment Will says it,
01:52Tom's expression changes. He gets angry and tells Will, don't ever mention that again.
01:57It turns out that years ago, Will and Tom used to spend time together at sea on Tom's boat.
02:02One day, while they were out, Will had been drinking a soda and, in a careless moment,
02:08took control of the boat's wheel. Unfortunately, he lost control and the boat sank. That incident had
02:13deeply hurt Tom, and in memory of the lost boat, he had built a small toy replica of it,
02:18which now stood in the house as a painful reminder. Later that night, during dinner,
02:23Tom decides to get to the point. He tells Will, look, I have a son and a daughter.
02:28When my son got married, I made sure his wife signed an agreement before the wedding.
02:32The agreement stated that if they ever faced problems, she could not make any claim to my
02:37property. I've done the same with my daughter. If you want to marry Sam, you'll also have to sign
02:42an agreement. My property belongs to my children, and you'll have no right to it.
02:47After hearing Tom's demand about signing the agreement, Will remains calm at first and responds,
02:52I don't need your property because I earned very well. I'm a lawyer, and I can take care of Sam myself.
02:57But then Tom, visibly upset, replies, You may be a lawyer, but for the past seven months,
03:03you've been sitting at home without a job. It's my daughter who has been covering all your expenses.
03:08Tom's harsh words strike a nerve, and Will, unable to contain his anger, begins to argue with him.
03:14The tension in the room quickly rises, and just when it seems things could get worse,
03:18Sam's mother, Paula, steps in. Calmly but firmly, she says,
03:23Son-in-law, you've had too much to drink. Please leave before this turns into an even bigger argument.
03:29We don't need more problems tonight. Realizing there's no point in continuing,
03:33Will storms out of the house and heads to a nearby hotel. Exhausted, he falls asleep and doesn't wake up
03:40until late the next morning. His phone rings. It's Sam calling. She says,
03:44Will, do you even know what time it is? Panicked, he looks at the clock and realizes he overslept.
03:50It's time for my flight, he exclaims, jumping out of bed. As they talk on a video call,
03:55Will notices something strange on Sam's side. He hears unusual noises in the background and asks,
04:00What's that sound? It's as if someone is screaming. Sam seems worried and says,
04:04I don't know. Something's wrong here, let me check. Suddenly, the video call cuts off,
04:10leaving Will alarmed and confused. He tries calling her back, but the signal doesn't connect.
04:15Now, deeply worried about Sam, Will runs to the airport, determined to return to her.
04:20Sam lives in a city called Seattle, and Will is desperate to catch a flight there. However,
04:25when he arrives at the airport, he finds chaos. All flights to Seattle have been canceled. He looks at
04:30the news on a television in the terminal, and reporters announce that there's a problem in the
04:34city, but no one knows what's going on. The broadcast ends abruptly, and even the TV channels
04:40go offline. To make matters worse, phone networks and internet signals stop working completely.
04:46Confused and anxious, Will doesn't know what to do next. He heads to the outskirts of the airport
04:50and tries to get transportation, but the drivers refuse to help him. Desperate, he offers one driver
04:5610,000 hero gems as payment for the trip. The driver agrees and Will gets into the car. While on his way,
05:03he calls Tom and tells him about the strange situation in Seattle. Tom and Paula, equally
05:08concerned, tell him that they're also packing to go look for Sam. Will finally arrives at Tom and
05:13Paula's house, where he finds them getting ready to leave. They are just as clueless as Will about
05:18what is happening to Sam. After a brief discussion, they decide on a plan. Paula will stay at her son's
05:24house for safety, while Will and Tom head together to Seattle to find Sam and figure out what is
05:30going on. After deciding to look for Sam, Will and Tom notice that there are two military planes
05:35flying overhead. This confirms their suspicions that something serious is happening and that the
05:40military is involved. They leave Paula at her son's house for safety and then set off in their car
05:45to find Sam. While traveling, they come across a long line of vehicles on the road. After slowly
05:50moving through the traffic, they stop at a gas station to refuel. While Will is filling the car's tank,
05:56Tom says, I'm going to get some food. Will not only fills the car's tank, but also pours extra
06:01gasoline into several small containers, since they have to travel nearly 2,000 kilometers.
06:07While Will is busy, a girl approaches him and asks him for a ride. He refuses and says,
06:12I'm very busy right now. She gets angry and starts arguing with him, saying, how can you talk to me
06:17like that, especially in front of other people? Suddenly, a gang of thugs appears to back her up.
06:23They threaten Will saying, give us money or we'll wreck your car. Will tries to stay calm and says,
06:28all right, I'll give you the money. But before he can act, Tom returns from the store and asks,
06:34what's going on here? The gang also directs their threats toward Tom, but Tom remains calm. He tells
06:39them, I have money in the trunk of the car. Tom, who used to be a military officer, always carries a
06:45gun with him. He quietly takes it out from the trunk and shows it to the gang. Seeing the weapon,
06:49the thugs quickly flee. Will and Tom get back in the car and leave. As they drive away, Will asks,
06:56why didn't you tell me earlier that you had a gun in the car? Tom replies, if I had told you,
07:00they might have taken a car and a gun. And then, how we find Sam. As they continue their journey,
07:05they reach the edge of the city, where they see many stopped vehicles. The military officers are
07:11blocking the road and not allowing anyone to cross. Tom gets out and talks to the officers.
07:15He shows them his military ID and uses his influence to convince them to let his car
07:20through. Although hesitant, the officers finally let only Tom's car through. As they drive,
07:26they see a military train moving along the tracks. It is loaded with weapons and Tom comments,
07:32there's definitely a big problem, we have to hurry. Will drives through the night without stopping,
07:37determined to reach Sam as quickly as possible. As Will and Tom drive at night,
07:41they notice a police car following them. The car signals them to stop, so Will pulls the car over
07:46to the side of the road. Will is about to get out when Tom suddenly realizes that something is wrong.
07:51He notices that the driver of the car is not a police officer, but a thief who has killed the
07:56police officers and stolen their vehicle. Tom immediately shouts, he's not a cop. Hearing this,
08:01Will tries to run back to the car, but the thief catches him. The thief demands the car and the gas
08:06threatens them. Tom quickly puts the car in reverse, trying to run over the thief, but the man manages
08:12to escape. Now the thief jumps into his stolen car and starts chasing them. The situation becomes
08:17tense as the thief follows them closely, driving at high speed. Meanwhile, Tom decides it's time to
08:23teach Will how to use a gun. He gives Will quick instructions on how to load the gun, aim, and shoot.
08:29Despite the stressful situation, Tom patiently encourages Will to stay calm and focus. Will tries to shoot the
08:35thief, but his shots miss and the thief continues chasing them. As the chase continues, they come
08:41across a herd of deer that suddenly cross the road. Startled, Will swerves the car to avoid hitting them.
08:47In the chaos, the car loses control and crashes into a tree. After the crash, everything falls silent.
08:53For a moment, it's unclear what happened to Will and Tom as they both lie motionless in the wrecked car.
08:59After the car crash, the thief catches up to them and points a gun at Will, threatening him.
09:04Just when things seem hopeless, Tom quietly appears from behind and hits the thief in the
09:09head with a large rock, killing him. With their car badly damaged from the crash,
09:14Tom and Will decide to take the thief's stolen police car. Tom kills their car's engine and
09:19tows it as they drive away. A while later, they come across a small mechanic's workshop on the
09:24side of the road. They stop and meet a woman named Ricky, who is the mechanic there. Tom explains
09:29his situation and asks for help to fix his car. Ricky, seeing his desperation, agrees to help him
09:35without charging any money. She works quickly and repairs his car. While they wait, Tom and will
09:41notice something strange about Ricky's living situation. The man who is staying with her,
09:46someone she calls her father, does not treat her kindly. It soon becomes clear that this man is not
09:50her real father, but someone abusive. He yells at her and treats her badly, which upsets Tom and Will.
09:56As they prepare to leave, they notice something unusual in the sky. Hundreds of birds flying
10:02together in a strange and chaotic pattern. This makes Tom even more worried about what might be
10:07happening in the city. Despite the pain in his back from the accident and the possibility of a bone
10:12fracture, Tom remains focused on one thing, saving his daughter, Sam. Before leaving, Tom talks to
10:18Ricky. He says, why do you stay with someone who treats you so badly? This is not a good place for
10:23you. Come with us. There's a chance our car might break down again, and your help would be very
10:28useful. Once we get to the city, I'll help you find a good job. Ricky hesitates. I don't even know
10:33you, she says, and besides, you're driving a stolen police car. How do I know you're not criminals?
10:39Tom replies, we're not thieves. My name is Tom, and this is my son-in-law, Will. We're trying to save my
10:45daughter, Sam. She's in trouble, and we have to get to her as quickly as possible. If you trust me,
10:50I promise to pay you 4,000 euros for your help. Ricky frowns and shakes her head. No,
10:55if you wanted to come with you, I want 100,000 euros. Tom sighs and looks at Will. After thinking
11:00for a moment, they agree to her demand. All right, says Tom, 100,000 euros, but you'll have to bring
11:07your tools and help us if the car breaks down again. Satisfied, Ricky packs her mechanic tools
11:12and gets into the car with him. With Ricky now part of the group, they set off together,
11:16determined to reach the city and save Sam. While driving, Will tells Tom about his friend
11:21Mac, who is also a close friend of Sam's. He suggests stopping by Mac's house to ask for
11:26help. As Will drives, a car suddenly appears in the opposite direction, and they accidentally
11:31crash into it. The accident is serious, and some people in the other vehicle lose their lives.
11:37They discover that one man is still alive, but severely injured. Tom assesses the situation
11:42and says, there's no hospital nearby, and even if we took him, the equipment there might
11:48not work. He only has half an hour to live. There's nothing we can do for him. He insists
11:53that they leave and tells Will to get back in the car. Ricky, however, refuses to abandon
11:58the man and stays to help him. While she tends to him, another car arrives, and a group of armed
12:03thugs get out. Sensing the danger, Will quickly starts the car and tries to drive away, but Tom
12:08stops him and says, we can't leave Ricky behind. Ricky manages to escape from the thugs and runs
12:14back to the car, jumping in just in time. They drive away as fast as they can, narrowly
12:19avoiding more trouble. As they continue their journey, they arrive at a village, only to
12:25find the entrance blocked by the villagers. It turns out the thieves had caused trouble
12:29in the area recently, so the villagers block the roads to keep their community safe. As Will,
12:33Tom, and Ricky approach the village. A police officer stops their car and warns them that
12:38there is no gas, water, or supplies available in the area. He advises them to turn back, but
12:44Will insists, saying that his best friend Mack lives there and they've come to visit her.
12:49To prove he's not lying, he suggests the officer send someone with him. The officer agrees and
12:54sends four men to accompany them. When they arrive at Mack's house, she comes out, hugs
12:59Will and confirms his story, allowing the police to leave. Mack is distressed because her husband
13:04went to a nearby town and hasn't returned. Will and Tom comfort her, telling her he'll probably
13:10be back soon. Despite her worries, they gather supplies, gas, water, and food and continue their
13:17journey. As they drive, they pass through burned towns and forests where they see people fleeing with
13:23their belongings. Soon, they hear a woman screaming for help. Will wants to stop, but Tom advises him not
13:29too and urges him to stay focused, ignoring Tom. Will gets out to help, but suddenly a man appears
13:35behind the woman, pointing a gun at her and stopping their car. The thief demands all their gas
13:40and even hits Will. Tom tries to intervene, but collapses due to his worsening back injury.
13:45The thief escapes in their car with a small can of gasoline, ignoring Will's pleas to leave them
13:49some fuel. Determined not to give up, the group follows the thief, puncturing the tire of his car.
13:55The thief's car overturns, spilling gasoline that ignites and causes an explosion. The thief and
14:01his accomplices are trapped in the fire and die screaming. The sight of the thieves and flames
14:05deeply affects Ricky. Overwhelmed by the violence, she suffers an emotional breakdown and refuses to
14:11continue the journey. She insists on staying behind, leaving Will and Tom without her. As they move
14:17forward, Tom's health deteriorates even more, and both men begin to fear that he won't survive much
14:23longer. As they continue their journey, Will decides to talk to Tom. I came here to talk to
14:27you about something important, says Will hesitantly. Tom looks at him knowingly and replies, yes, I know
14:33what you're going to say. Surprised, Will stammers. Really? Tom smiles and says, yes, I know you're going
14:39to be a father and my daughter Sam is going to be a mother. There's a baby boy growing in her womb.
14:44Will is stunned. Oh my god, how do you know this? Did Sam tell you? Tom laughs and explains.
14:49After he left the house that day, Sam called Paula and told her everything. I'm going to be a
14:54grandfather and I know my grandson will look a lot like me. Tom says this with such joy that it
15:00softens the tension between them. Will, feeling a weight lift off his shoulders, asks for Tom's
15:06blessing to marry Sam. Tom looks at him warmly and says, you've shown that you're capable of
15:11protecting my daughter. You're a good man, Will, and you're worthy of becoming my son-in-law.
15:15As Tom finishes speaking, he suddenly collapses and loses consciousness. Will panics and calls
15:21out to him, but Tom only murmurs softly, unable to open his eyes. Before Will can fully process
15:27what's happening, they approach a bridge. Two cars appear in front and behind them, blocking
15:32their way. A motorcycle pulls up to the side and a group of armed thugs gets out of the vehicles
15:37and surrounds them. Tom, regaining some composure, weekly orders Will, back up, get us out of here.
15:44Will quickly puts the car in reverse and speeds away. The gang begins to chase them with the
15:49motorcyclists leading the pursuit. Will grabs the gun Tom had given him earlier and, summoning his
15:54courage, shoots at the motorcyclists, managing to take them down. As Will drives, two cars, one in
16:01front and one behind, try to ram their vehicle. Despite his intense pain, Tom grabs the gun, steadies
16:07himself, and tells Will to wait for his signal. At the right moment, Tom yells and Will swerves the
16:13car, while Tom shoots at the vehicles chasing them, giving them just enough time to escape
16:18through a nearby town. Relieved, Will says, thank God, we barely made it. But when he looks at Tom,
16:24he realizes he has died. Devastated, Will keeps driving until the gas runs out. He uses the
16:29remaining fuel in the can to go a few more kilometers. Knowing he can't leave Tom's body
16:34out in the open, Will decides to give him a proper farewell. He burns the car along with Tom's body,
16:39performing the last rites in silence before continuing on foot. Will tries to hitchhike,
16:44but most vehicles ignore him. Finally, a car stops and the driver, armed with a gun, gets out.
16:50Will pleads, please don't misunderstand me. I'm just trying to get to Shutter City to find my
16:55girlfriend. I need your help. The man agrees to take him, but demands Will's gun in return.
17:00Reluctantly, Will hands it over. When Will gets in the car, he notices the man's wife and daughter
17:05are sitting in the back seat. He suspects there's a reason why the man stopped. It turns out the
17:09driver has been at the wheel for 18 straight hours and is exhausted. He offers to take Will in
17:14exchange for help with the driving. On the way, Will asks to stop at his father's house. They arrive
17:20and Will knocks on the front door, but there's no answer. He retrieves the house key hidden in an
17:24outlet and lets them in. He shows him a room upstairs to rest. Then he checks the kitchen, where he
17:30find a large supply of food that could last between 10 and 15 days. Will tells the man, you can use all
17:36of this. There's an old car in the garage you can fix and take with you. I've also stored some gasoline
17:41here. You can stay as long as you need, but I need your vehicle for 15 days and 15 liters of gas to
17:47continue my journey. Grateful for the hospitality, the man agrees. Before leaving, Will retrieves his gun
17:53and discovers there's only one bullet left. He takes the vehicle and drives for hours until he finally
17:59reaches the seashore, determined to continue his mission to find Sam in Shatter City. Will finally
18:04arrives in Shatter City, only to find it completely destroyed. The city is in ruins, with smoke rising
18:10everywhere and ash covering the ground. To get there, he has to cross a bridge where there are
18:15numerous abandoned vehicles, all filled with ash. The air is stifling, so he finds a mask in one of the
18:22cars and puts it on before moving forward. As he passes through the debris, he sees corpses in the
18:28cars, making it difficult for him to continue. When he finally reaches Sam's apartment, he climbs the
18:34stairs and discovers that she is not there. Heartbroken, he looks at the ruined city, assuming
18:39Sam is dead. Just as he is about to leave, he notices something written on a pile of rubble near
18:45the apartment. I live in the middle of the forest, come find me. Realizing Sam is alive, Will sighs in
18:51relief and sets out to find her. After reaching the forest, Will sees a cabin. As he approaches,
18:56a man appears with a gun and orders him to stop. The man is a jailer and Sam's neighbor, who has been
19:02helping her during this time. Before things get worse, Sam comes out, sees Will, and shouts his
19:07name. She runs to him, and they embrace, overwhelmed with emotion. Tears flow as they kiss, grateful to
19:14finally be reunited. Later that night, inside the cabin, the two share stories and reflect on the
19:20tragedy that has unfolded. They become emotional, mourn the lives lost in the city, but are thankful
19:26to have found each other safe and for their unborn child. That night, Will, Sam, and the jailer sit
19:32together and will ask what happened to Shutter City. The jailer says he's not sure, but Sam assumes it
19:37might have been a natural disaster. The jailer disagrees, claiming an atomic bomb was dropped on the city
19:42and warning that it could happen again. Will refuses to believe it and insists that it must have been a
19:47natural disaster. The conversation becomes tense, but Will decides to end it, saying that everyone
19:53should get some sleep. The next morning, Will wakes up and finds the jailer checking his car.
19:58Suspicious, Will asks what he's doing. The jailer quickly denies taking anything and says,
20:03there were two kids here before and they left something behind. Come with me, I'll show you.
20:07Will follows him deep into the forest, but after walking for a while, he feels uncomfortable and asks,
20:13where are the kids? I don't see anyone. The jailer suddenly reveals his true intentions and says,
20:19why did you come here? You should have stayed where you were. Now I love Sam and she's mine.
20:24I told her you were dead and that you'd never come back. Angry and shocked, Will confronts him,
20:29but the jailer pulls out a weapon and threatens to kill him. Will reacts quickly, pulls out his own
20:34gun and shoots the jailer in the chest with his last bullet, killing him. As Will hears strange
20:40sounds coming from the forest, he hurries back to the cabin. He grabs Sam and tells her what happened,
20:45explaining, the jailer tried to kill me, so I had to shoot him. They quickly get in the car,
20:50but just as they begin to drive, a volcanic eruption occurs on a nearby mountain. The fire spreads
20:55rapidly and the ground shakes violently. Will drives as fast as he can, narrowly escaping the flames.
21:01In the end, love and determination save Will and Sam. The two drive away safe and sound,
21:08leaving the chaos behind, ready to face whatever comes next.
