6. Armageddon (1998)
Critical Characters: Bruce Willis, Ben Affleck and Liv Tyler
The Happening: An asteroid the size of Texas heading straight for Earth
On the Brink of Disaster: Deepcore driller Harry Stamper’s got enough to deal with at home (like breaking up his daughter and her loser boyfriend), let alone time to save the planet. With a massive asteroid on its way, NASA needs Stamper’s help – pronto. If he and his team can reach the asteroid in time to blow it apart with a nuclear bomb, they’ll surely return home heroes.
