Summary

Cover image for Armageddon

From the blockbuster-making team who produced and directed The Rock comes the biggest movie of 1998 -- Armageddon! Starring the explosive talents of Bruce Willis (Die Hard), Academy Award winners Ben Affleck (1997, Best Original Screenplay, Good Will Hunting) and Billy Bob Thornton (1996, Best Adapted Screenplay, Sling Blade), Liv Tyler (The Lord Of The Rings trilogy), Steve Buscemi (Con Air) and Will Patton (Gone in Sixty Seconds), Armageddon is a meteor storm of action-adventure moviemaking that has you on the edge of your seat forgetting to breathe!

When NASA's executive director, Dan Truman (Thornton), realizes the Earth has 18 days before it's obliterated by a meteor the size of Texas, he has only one option -- land a ragtag team of roughneck oil drillers on the asteroid and drop a nuclear warhead into its core. Spectacular special effects, laugh-out-loud humour, great characters, riveting storytelling and heartfelt emotion makes Armageddon an exhilarating thrill ride you'll want to experience like there's no tomorrow.
