I think when people think of Pompeii, they think it was just destroyed by the volcano. Yes, it was the eruption of the volcano that eventually caused the pyroclastic surge that swept over Pompeii and destroyed it for good.

Apocalyptic movies tend to thrive when people are concerned about the state of the world.
