Armageddon

Armageddon (1998) pits an asteroid on a collision course with Earth against a ragtag team of oil drillers led by the gruff, no-nonsense Harry Stamper. When NASA recruits Stamper to lead a mission to the asteroid, he demands his own crew, including his estranged daughter's boyfriend, the cocky A.J. As they race against time to save the planet, bonds are forged and the harsh realities of leadership and sacrifice are laid bare. Michael Bay's spectacle-driven narrative, anchored by Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck, is a high-octane blend of patriotism and familial drama, anchored by the relentless countdown to disaster.
