After New york City is damaged by hundreds of small meteorites, NASA discovers an asteroid the size of Texas is on a collision course with Earth. They recruit the best deep core driller in the world, Harry Stamper, to train astronauts who will go to the asteroid, drill into the center and detonate a nuclear warhead. Harry says he can't train men how to drill in ten days, so he brings in his own team of roughnecks to learn to become astronauts and get the job done. One of his team is the fiance of his own daughter.

Movie Quote(s):
- Chick: I never told anybody this before, but I hate flyin'. So it would be an awful shame to die now. Rockhound: That's easy for you to say. I owe 100 grand to a fat-ass loan shark which I spent on a stripper named Molly Mounds. Chick: Boy, that's bad.
-
Chick: Man, what are you doing with a gun in space?
-
F.B.I. Agent: We have a national security matter. Rockhound: Good for you.
-
[after escaping the Russian Space Station explosion] Freddy Noonan: Pretty intense, huh? Lev Andropov: That's why I told you "touch nothing". But you're bunch of cowboys!
-
Lev Andropov: Don't touch my uncle! You know? He's a genius of my family.
Movie Trivia:
- Because of the patriotic nature of the script and the success of using Top Gun (1986) as recruitment material, the producers persuaded NASA to allow director Michael Bay and company to shoot in the normally restricted space agency. This included the neutral buoyancy lab, a 65-million-gallon, 40-foot-deep pool used to train astronauts for weightlessness and the use of two $10-million space suits. The crew was also allowed to shoot in the historic launch pad that went out of service after the Apollo 1 disaster, and parts of the movie were filmed at Edwards Air Force Base in California.
-
This was the first movie that the cast was allowed to use genuine NASA spacesuits. The cast are the only civilians to ever wear NASA spacesuits, which cost over $3 million each.
-
Director Michael Bay had the actors write their list of demands on the papers that Bruce Willis read from.
-
The convenient existence of a fault plane passing right through the asteroid is not unrealistic. Several asteroids are now believed to be "contact binaries", each apparently consisting of two separate lumps of rock that are just sitting on each other.
-
The film opened on Liv Tyler's 21st birthday.
