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 proves otherwise.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A high-octane disaster spectacle that balances genuine emotional stakes with explosive action, following a blue-collar crew forced to become humanity's last hope. It's bombastic and earnest, mixing father-daughter conflict with world-ending stakes in a way that refuses to wink at the camera.
