Plot
A massive meteor shower destroys the orbiting Space Shuttle ''Atlantis'' before entering the atmosphere and bombarding Boston, Philadelphia, Moncton, Halifax, Newfoundland and New York City, the latter being extensively damaged. The meteors were pushed out of the asteroid belt by a collision from a rogue comet—which also dislodged a massive asteroid the size of Texas—and NASA learns it will impact Earth in 18 days, potentially wiping out all life on Earth. NASA devises a plan to drill a deep hole into the asteroid, into which they will insert and detonate a nuclear bomb to destroy it.
