The City of Ember is an underground city built to last 200 years to house humankind following an unspecified disaster. However, the 200-year mark has been and gone and the city is running low on food and energy. The technological knowledge from the original builders of the city has been lost and disregarded, and generations of corrupt officialdom have added to the deterioration of the once flourishing community. When two teenagers, Lina Mayfleet (Saoirse Ronan) and Doon Harrow (Harry Treadaway), uncover the precious box of instructions left behind by the city's builders generations before, they decide to brave the darkness and set out on a mission to save their dying city. Review: Interesting film - This was good film and reminded me of Logans run in a way of a film about a human community whose ancestors were forced to live in a city cut off from the outside world. Many generations later no one really knows why or what happened but think the world outside means instant death. In this film there is the complication that the city, which is underground, was only supposed to be used for a west period of time and they had a series of disasters which meant they have stayed too long and everything is breaking down. They are left underground with no light at regular intervals. Their food supplies are running out and as ever the rich and powerful start secretly hoarding the food for themselves while telling everyone else they are trying to help everyone. Can they find a way out and is there anywhere to go? An example of the value of books in preserving knowledge and how once lost is not necessarily rediscovered. Computers do this but what if you forget how to use the computers properly or what if the books are lost? We have actually done this with medicines where our ancestors knew about but we have completely forgotten about in forests or rainforests and many crafts have been lost. Also one reason we have foreign companies building Nuclear Power stations in the UK is the people who knew how to build them have long ago retired as we have not built any for so long so this loss of knowledge has actually happened many times all around us but we do not know what we do not know we do not know! So this is actually quite possible. Review: Wonderful. - Light hearted, funny and worth watching. I loved it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001LNW2IS | | Actors | Bill Murray, Catherine Quinn, Harry Treadaway, Saoirse Ronan, Tim Robbins | | Best Sellers Rank | 36,221 in Electronics & Photo ( See Top 100 in Electronics & Photo ) 780 in DVD-VCR Combinations | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (1,489) | | Director | Gil Kenan | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 5017239195884 | | Language | English | | Media Format | PAL | | Number of discs | 1 | | Package Dimensions | 18.9 x 13.7 x 1.6 cm; 80 g | | Producers | Caroline Thompson, Gary Goetzman, Tom Hanks | | Run time | 1 hour and 34 minutes | | Studio | Entertainment in Video | | Subtitles: | English | ## Product Details - **Colour:** Colour - **Format:** PAL - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 34 minutes ## Images ![City Of Ember [DVD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91ss2Dlc4eL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting film *by D***F on 16 September 2017* This was good film and reminded me of Logans run in a way of a film about a human community whose ancestors were forced to live in a city cut off from the outside world.

I loved it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent under-rated film - well worth a look *by G***L on 10 November 2008* I really enjoyed this film. I then went and got the book and, hooray! The film-makers hardly tinkered with the plot at all, kept all the characters exactly as they appear in the book and did a damn decent job of it all into the bargain. Now why can't more film-makers do it like this? It was, as another reviewer points out, also refreshing to watch a film with no sex, hardly any violence (and then more hinted than actual) and a happy ending. The sets looked just like the city described in the book and the only jarring note for me was the giant mole-rat and the giant beetle claw - neither of which was explored any further and neither of which appears in the book. Pointless putting them in, really - except that it was one way of getting rid of the main baddie (magnificently played by Bill Murray). The two teen leads were engaging without being 'Hollywood pretties', which was also refreshing and they really looked like 2 children who'd lived a life of semi-deprivation. I saw this in an empty cinema and felt very sorry for everyone who missed it. If you love sci-fi/fantasy, this is an excellent film and I highly recommend it (oh, and read the book too - it's just as good). --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/49496366-city-of-ember-dvd](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/49496366-city-of-ember-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
