      Sounds like a plot for a Superhero movie ;)

        Not exactly a superhero movie, but The Core (2003) is kinda related

          Personally I was thinking of the Bond movie "A View To Kill" (the plot to destroy Silicon Valley through activating the San Andreas fault).

        More like a bond villain plot. Nefarious under the guise of altruism. And a volcano lair.
