Summary:

An asteroid the size of Texas is heading directly toward Earth at 22,000 mph. NASA’s director, Dan Truman, has only one option – to send a crew up 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 into its core. On this heroic journey, they face the most physically and emotionally trying conditions ever encountered…to save the world and prevent Armageddon.
