Genre : Action, Sci-Fi, Drama, ThrillerNASA discovered that a giant asteroid roughly the size of Texas, is on a collision course with Earth. The asteroid will hit the Earth in 18 days with the force of 10,000 nuclear weapons. A trillion tons of dirt and rock will hurtle into the atmosphere, creating a suffocating blanket of dust that the sun is powerless to penetrate for a thousand years. It is like the one that killed off the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.
NASA and the U.S. military decide to use a nuclear warhead to blow the asteroid from the inside. They recruit the world's best deep core drilling team to land on the surface of the asteroid. Their mission is to drill 800 feet into the center of the asteroid, place a nuclear bomb, then take off and remotely detonate the nuclear warhead. The explosion of the nuke will break the asteroid in two, and the two pieces will pass earth on both sides.
For the drill team, NASA select Harry S. Stamper (Bruce Willis) and his group of misfit drillers and geologists crew that includes tough guy-softie Bear (Michael Clarke Duncan), brilliant smart-ass Rockhound (Steve Buschemi), A.J. Frost (Ben Affleck) the fiancée of his independent daughter Grace Stamper (Liv Tyler), and Oscar Choi (Owen Wilson). Billy Bob Thornton stars as NASA Director Dan Truman. Jason Isaacs, Will Patton, William Fichtner, Eddie Griffin and Mark Curry co-star. It's a race against time to get the drillers trained, land them on the asteroid and get the hole drilled before the earth is destroyed in 18 days.
