Storyline
Due to a shuttle's unfortunate demise in outer space, NASA becomes aware of a doomsday asteroid that is on a collision course with Earth. It seems that the only way to knock it off course is to drill into its surface and detonate a nuclear weapon. But as NASA's under-funded yet resourceful team train the world's best drillers for the job, the social order of the world begins to break down as the information reaches the public and hysteria results. As high-ranking officials play politics with the effort, the drilling team all faces deep personal issues which may jeopardize humanity's last chance... |

Bruce Willis (Harry Stamper) is the leader of a group of oil drillers that are recruited by NASA for the sole purpose of saving the world from an incoming meteor that could destroy all the living creatures of Earth.

With intense action, comedy and drama scenes, this is one of those movies that will flood you with emotion from the very beginning.
Although it does sound like more of an action movie then anything else at first glance, it's more then that, the drama, heroism, and the absurd amount of great actors such as Billy Bob Thornton, Liv Tyler, Steve Buscemi, Owen Wilson, Michael Clarke Duncan and many more make this a movie that will not be forgotten easily.
