Y2K is a 1999 American made-for-television science fiction-thriller film directed by Dick Lowry and starring Ken Olin and Kate Vernon.

The film premiered November 21, 1999 on NBC.

Background

Executive producer David Israel and his partner, Patrick Caddell, developed the idea of making a Y2K disaster film in summer 1998. Israel told the Los Angeles Times: "Frankly, I was astonished that nobody else pitched it. When we were able to clear the title 'Y2K,' I was flabbergasted. I was surprised we are the only fictional thing that got made."

Another Y2K-themed film with the same title and starring Louis Gossett Jr., Sarah Chalke and Malcolm McDowell was produced and released straight to video in 1999.
