A low earth orbit space station is in the middle of a repair mission with the space shuttle when an unforeseen meteor shower obliterates them both. This sudden event sends...
more...fireballs hurtling to Earth and scientists scurrying to telescopes. An amateur astronomer is the first to spy a gigantic fireball headed towards the planet and notifies NASA. Turner (Thornton) informs the president of the asteroid and describes it as being the size of Texas, a planet-killer. With eighteen days to impact, NASA frantically tries to find a solution but ends up turning to an outside contractor. Harry Stamper (Willis) and his team of ragamuffin roughneck oilmen are called upon to save the planet as only they can.

A bunch of retards i wouldnt trust with a potato gun.

This how the defense secratary discribes Harry Stanford's (Bruce Willis) men.

Taken from their homes on their shore leave from drilling oil.

In atempt to save the planet.

But lets go back to the start!

Harry Stanford has developed a extremely lucrative drilling company, drilling for oil in the various seas around the world.

He also has a fantastice team of the most lovable rouges you could ever meet.

When NASA spot an asteriod the size of Texas approaching the Earth, which will cause total devestation, searches for people to help only ever lead to one mans name!Harry Stanford who has drilled every terrian imaginable.

Upon Harrys arrival at NASA headquarters it becomes clear to him that these people who are asking him to enter space to drill the asteriod to the point of fracture know nothing in the comparsion of him and his staff.

Harry agrees to the challenge on the condition that he takes his own men up there.

Harrys men are loveable, funny and er maybe not the type you would place the planets safety with!!!

And NASA strongly disagree with sending them but have no choice.

The film shows how the men are trained to save the planet and how these ordinary men are asked to enter space drill an asteriod and insert an nuclear bomb!!!

The story also has a twist that Harry;s daughter Gracie (Liv Tayler) is love with one of Harrys men, AJ(Ben Affleck) and Harry is NOT happy about this.

Which leads much competion between the two at the most inapproiate time.

And as you guessed, the men are split into two groups with each of Gracies loves heading one of the teams.

I will not spoil the story line further.

At first when i heard the plot of this film I thought definately not for me.

Nuclear bombs in space?

I thought there was no way i would like it, but is is not a typical SCI-FI film.

This film is funny and shows how these men react in a situation they do not to be in and NASA do not want to place them in.

The film follows both their earth and space adventures and had me laughing all the way through.

Altough the ending is extremely sad, it is a wonderful film.

With a large celebrity cast, you fall in love with each and everyone of them.
