Moonfall'da bilinmeyen nedenlerle, Ay yörüngesinden sapar ve Dünya'ya doğru yönelmeye başlar. Dünya'nın yerçekimi ve tüm fizik yasaları bozulur. Büyük tsunamiler, depremler, volkanik patlamalar ve iklimlerdeki büyük değişiklikler de dahil olmak üzere akla hayale gelmeyecek felaketler nedeniyle dünya, korku ve kaosa sürükleniyor. Eski NASA astronotu Jo Fowler (Halle Berry) bu durumu çözebileceğini ve çarpışmanın engellenebilir olduğunu düşünür. Ancak iş arkadaşlarından yalnızca biri (Patrick Wilson) ona inanır.

Ama oraya vardıklarında Ay'ın, sandıkları gibi Dünya'nın etrafında dönen dev bir kayadan ibaret olmadığını anlayacaklar.

A team of scientists working to raise a sunken Russian nuclear submarine on an ocean platform off the coast of Miami, Florida, unearth an ancient Atlantean relic from the sea floor and bring in an expert to make some sense of it. But while attempting to raise the sub, radioactive leakage from its missles triggers the re-emergence of Atlantis, and the resulting tidal wave destroys the platform and leaves only a small group of survivors. Rescued by two Vietnamvets-turned-heavies who are out relaxing after their latest job, their boat eventually runs aground on a Carribean island nearby where, upon going ashore, it is discovered that everything has been destroyed and everybody killed. The culprits, a vicious group of well-armed raiders, and their leader, Crystal Skull, are descendants of Atlantis' original race who set about reclaiming the world and adding the survivors to the list of victims as they struggle to stay alive and defeat the raiders and send Atlantis back to the ocean floor.

The film presents compelling evidence that Altlantis wasn't so far away after all, but what it omits is just as compelling. Although Plato’s account of Atlantian masonry, consisting of red, white and black stones, was a visually perfect match for the modern walls of the Minoan excavation site favored by the film, and his account of a sea made impassable by small islands of mud could, in fact, be a description of the rafts of pumice left by the catastrophic eruption of an ancient volcano there, little mention is made of Plato's specific account of where Atlantis was or the common root that links Atlantis to the Atlantic ocean. Also omitted is Plato's chronology placing the sinking of Atlantis in the same time frame as the end of the last ice age which caused the inundation of huge expanses of once fertile lands. Is "Atlantis: The Evidence" a thinly disguised example of Eurocentrism in the media? Watch Discovery: Atlantis for a more comprehensive view on an age-old debate.
Thousands of years before the Inca, a megalithic civilization was founded at Lake Titicaca which spread 500 miles to Cuzco, following a global flood that destroyed the Earth in 9000 BC. Its architects — Viracocha and his seven Shining Ones — disappeared as mysteriously as they appeared, yet the legacy of temples they left behind still baffles the modern mind.
