The film was shot in Wallace Town, Los Angeles, and surrounding locations in the old mining area of Idaho. The small town of Dante Peak was shot in the small town of Wallace in northern Idaho. Since this is a disaster film focusing on volcanic eruptions, in order to create the largest and most realistic scene of volcanic eruptions in history, in addition to the volcano experts who once gambled on the Colombian volcanic eruption that killed 20,000 lives in the mid-1980s, Consultant, the 180 sets of special effects shots in the film are all processed by the digital domain (DIGITAL DOMAIN) special effects studio nominated for the Oscar for shooting "Apollo 13". The special effects department of the crew produced 130 CGI images for the film. The volcano in the film was built in a hangar in Los Angeles. The entire model occupies 100 square feet and is 35 inches high. It is a steel-wood structure. The staff first built a 100-foot-high and 35-foot-wide volcano model, and then With computer animation and dense smoke, magma and lime, etc., a realistic volcanic eruption scene is created. The effect on the screen of Dante's Peak is impeccable

Harry Dalton: My 9th grade science teacher always said that if you put a frog in boiling hot water, it would jump out. But put it in cold water, and heat it up gradually, it would slowly boil to death.
Nancy: What's that Harry? Your recipe for frog soup?
Harry Dalton: It's my recipe for a disaster.

Paul Dreyfus: [during the meeting] Ladies and Gentlemen, I can assure you that there is no immediate danger, I believe that this is not the time to put this town on alert. this type of thing happened with mammoth mountain in 1980. The good thing is, that the mountain didn't go up, but the damage was already done, tourists stopped going to the mountain, real estate values plummeted, and the town nearly went bankrupt. My team and I are going to stay as long as we can, and we are going to monitor every little hiccup that mountain makes, we're gonna bounce off laser beams, to find out of any change in the mountain's shape, and see if there is any increase in gas emissions, we're even gonna send a robot up there to take the darn thing's temperature. So, if the times comes to put this town on alert, "if" the times comes, it will be based on scientific evidence, and not based on somebody's opinion.
