CLIP DESCRIPTION:
After detonating a nuclear bomb on the comet's surface, the crew of the
Messiah suffers the consequences.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Mimi Leder (
The Peacemaker) directed this science-fiction disaster drama about the possible extinction of human life after a comet is discovered headed toward
Earth with the collision only one year away. Ambitious
MSNBC reporter
Jenny Lerner (
Tea Leoni) stumbles onto the story, prompting a
White House press conference.
United States President Beck (
Morgan Freeman) announces the government's solution: a team of astronauts will travel to the comet and destroy it. The team leader aboard the spaceship Messiah is Spurgeon
Tanner (
Robert Duvall), who was once the last man to walk on the moon. However, the mission fails, splitting off a chunk of the comet, now due to land in the
Atlantic with the impact sending a 350-foot tidal wave flooding 650 miles inland, destroying
New York and other cities. The larger part of the comet, hitting in
Canada, will trigger an
E.L.E. (
Extinction Level Event), not unlike a "nuclear winter" as dust clouds block out the sun and bring life to an end.
President Beck reveals
Plan B: a cavernous underground retreat constructed to hold one million
Americans, with most to be selected through a national lottery. Since teenage amateur astronomer Leo Biederman (
Elijah Wood) discovered the comet, his family gets a pass to enter the cave, but his girlfriend
Sarah (
Leelee Sobieski) and her parents will be left behind.
Meanwhile, still in space, Spurgeon Tanner devises a plan for a kamikaze-styled operation that could possibly save the Earth.
Special visual effects by
Scott Farrar and
Industrial Light & Magic.
