Cat's Cradle

Kurt Vonnegut's cult classic of worldwide devastation plays on our darkest anxieties of seeing Armageddon and, worse yet, enduring it. It is told with deadpan humor and cruel sarcasm.

One of the original "fathers" of the atomic bomb, Dr. Felix Hoenikker, has left the world with a lethal legacy. He is the creator of "ice-nine," a deadly substance that has the power to freeze the whole Earth. The hunt for its location turns up Hoenikker's three narcissistic kids, a crazy ruler in the Caribbean, and ultimately, insanity. Felix Hoenikker's last, deadly gift to humanity fulfills his death wish and signals the approaching apocalypse for all of us.
