Armageddon (1998)StorylineIt is just another day at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), a few astronauts were repairing a satellite until, out of nowhere, a series of asteroids came crashing into the shuttle, destroying it. These asteroids also decimated New York soon thereafter. Then, NASA discovered that there is an asteroid roughly the size of Texas heading towards the Earth, and when it does hit the Earth, the planet itself and all of its inhabitants will be obliterated, worse, the asteroid will hit the Earth in 18 days. Unfortunately, NASA's plans to destroy the asteroid are irrelevant. That is when the U.S. military decides to use a nuclear warhead to blow the asteroid to pieces. Then, scientists decide to blow the asteroid with the warhead inside the asteroid itself. The only man to do it, is an oil driller named Harry Stamper and his group of misfit drillers and geologists. As he and his drill team prepare for space excavation...

This looks very much like the real images from the terrorist plane strike on the WTC on 9/11/01, 3 years after the film was made. Statistically speaking, this is the most likely distribution of two strikes on a pair of towers (by meteors, planes, or otherwise). »GoofsRevealing mistakes: In the psychological examination, Rockhound's solved Rubik's Cube at one point shows a green side adjacent to the blue side. In traditional Rubik's Cubes, the blue and green sides are opposite of each other. »Quotes[first lines][Camera shoots past the moon to slowly zoom in on the Earth] Narrator: This is the Earth, at a time when the dinosaurs roamed a lush and fertile planet. [From behind the camera, a giant asteroid appears, speeding towards the Earth ahead of it] Narrator: A piece of rock just 6 miles wide changed all that. [Blazing through the atmosphere, the asteroid impacts with a spectacular display of fire and destruction] Narrator: It hit with the force of 10,000 nuclear weapons. A trillion tons of dirt and rock hurtled into the atmosphere, creating a suffocating blanket of dust the sun was powerless to penetrate for a thousand years. It happened before. It will happen again. It's just a question of when. » Crazy CreditsAll initial UK '12' Certificate videos came with the full promo video for Aerosmith's: "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" before the film started.
