The Day After Tomorrow Trivia Quiz

Answer: Sam

Jake Gyllenhaal is my favorite actor, he plays Sam who is the son of Jack and Dr. Lucy Hall. Sam has joined a team that competes in a scholastic competition in New York City, and that is where he is during all the weather changes.

Answer: Laura

Laura is the reason why Sam joined the competition, because he wanted to be around her. He tells her this later in the film. Laura was very surprised and happy.

Answer: False

Jack Hall is a paleoclimatologist (a scientist who studies the ways that weather patterns have changed in the past), and was the one who tried to warn everyone about what was coming in the near future. Unfortunately no one believed him.

Answer: tornadoes

The first sign of the changes were tornadoes in Los Angeles. The very first weather change was in Antarctica but that was the cause, not a weather occurrence. The next was hail falling from the sky in Tokyo.

Answer: library

Jack Hall told Sam to stay inside the library and not to go outside- that he would come to get him. Sam had walked down to the main floor, which was nearly underwater. Sam was smart enough to know that pay phones will work, even in tough weather conditions, because of the way phone towers work.

Answer: False

Only Jack and two other men were in Antarctica at the time. Sam was at home, unaware of what was to come in the near future. Jack was in Antarctica studying what ice over the years looked like, the crack in the ice was about the size of Rhode Island.

Answer: a hospital

Although Lucy mostly helped children with cancer, she just worked in a hospital. She was stuck in the hospital when the weather was bad but wouldn't leave because a little boy with cancer couldn't leave without an ambulance, and there was not one available.

Answer: False

They were in New York City for their competition. While the weather occurrences were happening they were in the library, where they stayed until they were rescued.

Answer: walking

Jack started out driving, but the weather got so bad that he couldn't see, and ended up driving into a ditch. He walked the rest of the way along with two of his friends who also went along.

Answer: books

They threw books into the fire to keep the cold out and stay warm. In the movie, Brian said, "Hey guys there is a whole section of tax law books we can burn.". This was one of the more funny parts in the movie.
