Armageddon

ActionScience FictionAdventure

When an asteroid threatens to collide with Earth, NASA honcho Dan Truman determines the only way to stop it is to drill into its surface and detonate a nuclear bomb. This leads him to renowned driller Harry Stamper, who agrees to helm the dangerous space mission provided he can bring along his own hotshot crew. Among them is the cocksure A.J. who Harry thinks isn't good enough for his daughter, until the mission… From TMDB

    Rate Proposed Community Note: This video is from the classic movie Armageddon. NASA has confirmed that Dreadstone’s velocity and rocky composition would render any attempt to deflect or split the asteroid with nuclear or conventional weapons completely ineffective.

    When you watch Deep Impact you think "wow, Neil DeGrasse Tyson must love this" but when you watch Armageddon you think "wow, Neil DeGrasse Tyson must hate this" and that's why Armageddon is the superior film. I'm not even a Bay revisionist for the most part but that's one of the good ones.
