Armageddon

A "global killer" asteroid the size of Texas is heading towards Earth, and the future of the planet rests with a misfit group of oil-drilling experts. Their job: land a space shuttle on the rock and plant a nuclear device inside to blow it up. Striking special effects highlight this smash hit that stars Bruce Willis, Ben Affleck, Liv Tyler, Will Patton, Steve Buscemi, and Billy Bob Thornton; directed by Michael Bay. 151 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital 5.1, French Dolby Digital 5.1; music video; theatrical trailers.
