Movies that feel likeSan Andreas (2015)

In the aftermath of a massive earthquake in California, a rescue-chopper pilot makes a dangerous journey across the state in order to rescue his estranged daughter.

If you loved San Andreas, the closest films we have are Blood Father (2016), No Escape (2015) and Atomic Blonde (2017). All three share San Andreas' kinetic and tense feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Furie (2019).
