In the spirit of apocalypse films such as Deep Impact and Armageddon, the countdown to extinction is running down in the midst of an incoming comet in the new movie Greenland, and you can get a look at one family's harrowing trek to find a bunker in the official trailer.

Directed by Ric Roman Waugh from a screenplay by Chris Sparling and Mitchell LaFortune, Greenland stars Gerard Butler, Morena Baccarin, Roger Dale Floyd, Scott Glenn, David Denman, Hope Davis, Andrew Bachelor, and Joshua Mikel. STXfilms will release Greenland in theaters on August 14th.

Synopsis: "A family fights for survival as a planet-killing comet races to Earth. John Garrity (Gerard Butler), his estranged wife Allison (Morena Baccarin), and young son Nathan make a perilous journey to their only hope for sanctuary. Amid terrifying news accounts of cities around the world being leveled by the comet’s fragments, the Garrity’s experience the best and worst in humanity. As the countdown to global apocalypse approaches zero, their incredible trek culminates in a desperate and last-minute flight to a possible safe haven."
