Armageddon

When an asteroid the size of Texas is on a collision course with Earth, NASA must recruit a deep-core driller and his estranged crew to land on the asteroid and detonate a nuclear bomb, saving humanity from extinction. The mission is fraught with peril, both from the asteroid itself and the internal conflicts among the astronauts.

Armageddon was a commercial success but received largely negative reviews from critics, who criticized its plot, scientific inaccuracies, and excessive melodrama. However, it resonated with audiences, becoming a beloved disaster film for many.

During the filming of the asteroid attack scenes, NASA disallowed the use of the actual NASA Mission Control center, forcing the filmmakers to recreate it on a soundstage due to concerns about the film's scientific inaccuracies.
