Ever wonder what might happen if a fancy hotel was built on a small island home to an active volcano? Skyfire solves that little riddle for you exactly as a movie called Skyfire might--with a hearty dose of the lava, eruptions, and pyroclastic clouds we’ve come to expect from volcano movies over the years.
