Sura Ionospheric Heating Facility
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sura_Ionospheric_Heating_Facility

The Sura Ionospheric Heating Facility, located near the small town of Vasilsursk about 100 km eastward from Nizhniy Novgorod in Russia, is a laboratory for ionosphere research. Sura is capable of radiating about 190 MW, effective radiated power (ERP) on short waves. This facility is operated by the radiophysical research institute NIRFI in Nizhny Novgorod. The Sura facility was commissioned in 1981. Using this facility, Russian researchers studied the behaviour of the ionosphere and the effect of generation of low-frequency emission on modulation of ionosphere current. In the beginning, the Soviet Defense Department mostly footed the bill. The American HAARP ionospheric heater is similar to the Sura facility. The HAARP project began in 1993.

Plot http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Core
Several worldwide events, such as pigeons losing their ability to navigate in Trafalgar Square, and the computers on the Space Shuttle Endeavour sending it far off course and forcing the pilots to land in the Los Angeles River basin, cause leading geology experts Drs. Josh Keyes (Aaron Eckhart), Serge Leveque (Tchéky Karyo), and Conrad Zimsky (Stanley Tucci) to surmise that that rotation of Earth's molten core is slowing down, leading eventually to the collapse of the electromagnetic field which will expose the surface to the Sun's lethal radiation. The three develop a top-secret plan with the United States government to bore into the Earth's core and plant a series of nuclear charges at precise points to restart the core's motion and restore the field. They design a multi-compartment, snake-like vessel called the Virgil with the help of Ed "Braz" Brazzelton (Delroy Lindo), who has developed both a means of quickly boring through rock using an array of powerful lasers, and a material called "unobtainium" for its hull that can withstand the high pressures within the core. Keyes develops a means of using MRI-like technology to help visualize their way through solid rock. Keyes also enlists the help of a young computer hacker, Theodore Donald "Rat" Finch (DJ Qualls), to help with communications between the vessel and the surface, as well as to keep any word of the potential global disaster off the Internet for fear of causing a worldwide panic.

The vessel, piloted by Endeavour's Commander Robert Iverson (Bruce Greenwood) and Major Rebecca "Beck" Childs (Hilary Swank), is quietly "launched" over the Mariana Trench and begins to bore into the Earth. When they accidentally drill through a geode-like structure that temporarily stalls the ship, Iverson is killed while attempting to restart the unit. As Virgil continues its travels, it clips the edge of a huge diamond, breaching the hull of the last compartment; Leveque, inside, sacrifices himself to make sure that Keyes and the others have the appropriate launch codes before the compartment is jettisoned and crushed. Virgil eventually reaches the molten core. The crew discover that their original plans for nuclear detonation would be insufficient, and quickly devise a scheme to instead lay a series of timed detonations to restart the core's motion by separating the other compartments at key positions in the core, though it requires someone to deactivate a safety switch in Virgil that is in an area exposed to the elevated temperatures of the core. Brazzelton volunteers, and successfully deactivates the switch, dying shortly afterwards.

As the remaining three crewmen begin their plan, they learn that a super storm has devastated Rome, while a hole in the electromagnetic field has drawn a path of destruction through San Francisco. Finch is unable to stop the worldwide panic, but in his attempts, learns of the top-secret project "DESTINI" (Deep Earth Seismic Trigger INItiative) which the government officials seem willing to enact if Virgil's crew fails, and cryptically relays the information to Keyes. Keyes discovers that Zimsky was one of DESTINI's lead scientists and angrily seeks more information. DESTINI, according to Zimsky, was designed as a weapon to propagate earthquakes through the Earth's core, but on its use, became the cause for stopping the core's rotation. Keyes surmises that if they try to use it again to restart the core, DESTINI will rip the planet apart, and asks Finch to stall DESTINI while hastening their effects to complete the detonations. Keyes and Zimsky realize as they are setting the charges they have miscalculated the timing, and race to reset each device's timer before the compartments are detached, but Zimsky becomes trapped in one compartment. As Keyes and Childs continue to set the other charges, Zimsky reveals they need to also utilize the main compartment's nuclear fuel rod to finalize the impact of the explosions, but will leave them without power to escape the blast. Keyes and Childs quickly use the energy generated by the unobtainium shell to propel Virgil safely out of the way as the explosions commence, successfully restarting the core's rotation.

Keyes and Childs continue to use the power from the ship's hull to return to the surface, but break through the crust under water, where the unobtainium is unable to provide sufficient energy to power the ship or their communications, and believe themselves lost. However, the vessel is found by Finch and the others by tracking whalesong from a nearby pod circling the vessel. After their recovery, Keyes asks Finch to release full information of Project DESTINI and of their mission to the Internet, which reveals the truth to all, and ensures that Iverson, Leveque, Brazzelton and Zimsky are not forgotten, but rather lauded as heroes.
