San Andreas 2 (2025) is the high-octane, heart-pounding sequel to the 2015 disaster film, once again starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as rescue pilot Ray Gaines. This time, the stakes are even higher as a new, even more catastrophic disaster strikes, threatening not just California but the entire West Coast of the United States.
The trailer opens with Ray and his family—his daughter Blake (Alexandra Daddario) and ex-wife Emma (Carla Gugino)—living a more peaceful life, having moved away from the dangers of seismic zones. However, that peace is shattered when a series of unexplained, massive earthquakes begin to strike far beyond the San Andreas Fault. Scientists warn that the entire Pacific Coast could be destabilizing due to a “Mega Quake,” one that could dwarf the destruction seen in the first film.
Ray is called back into action when the earthquakes trigger deadly tsunamis, massive landslides, and volcanic eruptions. The trailer showcases Ray flying his rescue helicopter through chaotic urban centers as skyscrapers crumble, bridges collapse, and entire cities are swallowed by the earth. Blake, now older and studying seismology, realizes that the destruction is part of a chain reaction that could affect not only the West Coast but also trigger global tectonic shifts.
In a dramatic turn, Ray must work with both his family and a team of scientists to prevent the worst-case scenario: the potential eruption of a long-dormant supervolcano beneath California. The trailer shows high-octane action scenes, including daring rescues from collapsing buildings, helicopters flying through violent storm clouds, and characters racing against time to escape a massive tsunami bearing down on San Francisco.
The emotional core of the film revolves around Ray trying to protect his family amidst the chaos, as well as their bond growing stronger in the face of such monumental disaster. The trailer hints at a dramatic climax involving a desperate mission to stop the supervolcano’s eruption, with Ray leading the charge into the most dangerous zone.
The final moments show Ray and Blake in a race against time as the ground splits open beneath them, with a massive wall of water heading their way. The teaser ends with the chilling line: “The world as we know it is about to change—forever.”
