An asteroid the size of Texas is heading directly toward earth 22,000 MPH. NASA's executive director, Dan Truman, has only one option - to send up a crew to destory the asteroid. He enlists the help of Harry S. Stamper (Bruce Willis) - the world's foremost deep core oil driller - and Stamper's roughneck team of drillers to land on the asteroid, drill into its surface, and drop a nuclear device into the core. On this heroic journey, they face the most physically and emotionally challenging conditions ever encountered ... to save the world and prevent Armageddon.
