News and Reviews
Summary
From the blockbluster-making team who produced and directed The Rock comes the biggest movie of the year - Armageddon! Starring the explosive talents of Bruce Willis (Die Hard), Academy Award winners Ben Affleck (Good Will Hunting) and Billy Bob Thornton (Sling Blade), Liv Taylor (Inventing the Abbots), Armageddon is a meteor storm of action adventure movie-making that has you on the edge of your seat forgetting to breath!
When NASA'a executive director, Dan Truman (Thornton), realizes the Earth has 18 days before it's obliterated by a meteor the size of Texas, he has only one option - land a rag-tag team of roughneck oil drillers on the asteroid and drop a nuclear warhead into its core. Spectacular special effects, laugh-out-loud humor, great characters, riveting storytelling and heartfelt emotion make Armageddon an exhilarating thrill ride you'll want to experience like there's no tomorrow.
Back-of-the-Box
Summary
High-octane, low-concept sci-fi/action/drama about misfit oil drilling team sent into space to destroy oncoming asteroid. Its lightning-quick pace, stunning effects, heart-tugging sentimentality should please summertime crowds hungry for non-demanding thrills.
