2210年，科学家们发现了一个伟大文明的遗迹。通过对沙漠与大海之下的城市残骸的分析，他们拼凑了一个非凡的故事——一个关于发生在我们身上的故事 In the year 2210, scientists uncover the ruins of a great civilisation – so powerful one could argue it dwarfed anything that came before it. Sifting through the wreckage of cities overtaken by the desert and swallowed up by the sea, they piece together a remarkable story of collapse – the story of what on Earth happened to us. 电影基于贾雷德·戴蒙德(Jared Diamond)的著作——《崩溃：社会如何选择成败兴亡》(Collapse：How Societise Choose to Fail or Succeed)
