"Long before Deep Impact or Armageddon, there was Meteor. Sean Connery is a scientist who attempts to convince the government that a five-mile-wide meteor (which looks suspiciously like some rocks in my back yard) is going to destroy Earth. Henry Fonda is the President (no truth to the rumor that daughter Jane hijacked a space shuttle to be near the meteor) who must decide whether whether to cooperate with the Soviet or to use banned nuclear weapons to blow up the rock. The all-star cast includes Natalie Wood as an interpreter and Martin Landau (Mission: Impossible) as an Air Force general. "
