Plot

An asteroid the size of Texas is heading directly toward Earth at 22,000 mph. NASA's executive director, Dan Truman, has only one option - to send up a crew to destroy the asteroid. He enlists the help of Harry S. Stamper - 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.

Quick Review

Michael Bay's over the top action blockbuster doesn't capture the spirit of his previous movie, The Rock but I found it highly entertaining nonetheless, even if it is completely out there on ocassion. I just enjoy this guilty pleasure for what it is.
