Armageddon

in James Smythe, Paul Roche, Piers Horner, Robert Simpson, Science or Fiction by Rob on February 11th, 2009

Armageddon is a 1998 film starring Ben Affleck and Bruce Willis, and directed by Michael Bay.  It tells the story of an enormous asteroid heading for a collision with the Earth, and the rag-tag bunch of oil workers sent up to the asteroid to drill a nuke into it and blow it up before the world gets smushed.  But in terms of the science, is it more like training oil workers to be astronauts and saving the world, or a crazy Russian alone on Mir with Space Dementia?
