Don't Look Up

Two low-level astronomers discover that a massive comet is heading directly for Earth and will destroy the planet in six months. They embark on a media tour to warn mankind, but face a skeptical public and a detached political establishment. As the world seems more interested in celebrity gossip and trivial matters, the scientists struggle to make people understand the gravity of their discovery.
