Deep Impact
Film · 1998
A seven-mile-wide space rock is hurtling toward Earth, threatening to obliterate the planet. Now, it's up to the president of the United States to save the world. He appoints a tough-as-nails veteran astronaut to lead a joint American-Russian crew into space to destroy the comet before impact. Meanwhile, an enterprising reporter uses her smarts to uncover the scoop of the century.
The sides of Deep Impact
- A comet heading for Earth
- A crew sent to destroy it
- A lottery for places in the shelters
Deep Impact is good for you if…
- you like being moved by people saying their goodbyes before the comet hits.
- you like a president speaking calmly to a frightened nation.
- you like a disaster told through parents and children.
Deep Impact is bad for you if…
- you need the space science to hold up.
- you want nonstop action more than farewells.
