Armageddon

By DAVID WEINER

February 15, 2013

Bottom Line: Probably the best-known killer asteroid flick, this 1998 blockbuster action epic from director Michael Bay stars Bruce Willis, Ben Affleck, Billy Bob Thornton, Liv Tyler and Owen Wilson in a race against the clock to save the world from destruction. With a Texas-sized "global killer" meteor on a collision course with Earth, NASA's best and brightest recruit a rowdy crew of roughnecks to land on the hurtling rock, drill deep and blow it apart -- with plenty of pyrotechnics, awesome special effects and entertaining moments to keep audiences riveted to their seats.

Best Line: "You know we're sitting on four million pounds of fuel, one nuclear weapon and a thing that has 270,000 moving parts built by the lowest bidder."
