'''The 11th Hour''' is a 90 minute environmental [[schlockumentary]] produced and narrated by actor [[Leonardo DiCaprio]] which endorses the theory of man made [[global warming]]. Unlike [[Al Gore]]'s film, [[An Inconvenient Truth]], the 11th Hour focuses mainly on the alleged  "future catastrophes" of man made global warming. Former Soviet leader [[Mikhail Gorbachev]], [[New York Times]] reporter Andy Revkin, and Scripps Institute oceanographer Jeremy Jackson all appear in the movie.<ref>http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/08/18/101351.php</ref>

The film was released in late August 2007 and immediately became a bust at the box office.

A pre-screened showing of the film at Cannes reportedly ended with most of the attenders asleep. <ref>http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,295768,00.html</ref> The Chicago Sun newspaper called the 11th Hour "a bore" and the liberal news parody website [[The Onion]] called it "a headache of a film directed like an Errol Morris project, but with half the substance. It's clearly preaching to the choir, but even they may find it off-key."<ref>http://www.filmspot.com/movie/364791/11th-hour/reviews/critic.html?tag=fs_nav;reviews&om_act=convert&om_clk=fstabs</ref>
